This annual conference introduces the value of attending college—particularly to individuals who may not be considering higher education due to a lack of information or financial resources.  Each year, the conference delivers an engaging program that:

  • Nurtures the concept that all individuals are leaders
  • Provides information on the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) admission requirements
  • Includes information on the California Community College (CCC) matriculation and enrollment process
  • Introduces college success resources and STEM career workforce opportunities for the public and the private sector

This free conference averages over 1800 attendees from predominantly low-income and underrepresented backgrounds each year. Attendees leave empowered, believing they can achieve their goals and knowing their resources.

Enjoy live cultural entertainment. Admission and parking are free.
