The National Black Graduate Student Association (NBGSA) is ecstatic to announce San Diego, California as the host site for its 2010 national conference. The 22nd Annual National Black Graduate Student Conference (NBGSC) is set for March 10-14, 2010 at the Hilton San Diego/ Del Mar under the theme Pioneering the Change Within. The organization expects hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students from around the country to attend the 2010 conference.

NBGSC’s leadership has been working diligently over the past several months to develop a conference agenda suitable to the interests and needs of its core constituency. With a host of speakers representing various disciplines and professions along with engaging research presentations and panels, career and graduate school fair, networking with a community of scholars, great food, sandy beaches, and entertainment, this will definitely be a conference that you will not want to miss!

I invite you to explore the NBGSC site and learn more about how you can present your research or organize a panel discussion around an interesting and engaging topic, get updates on the conference agenda and confirmed speakers and register to be a conference attendee. I would also like to direct your attention to our membership page so that you can learn more about the national organization, how to become a member, and the benefits of membership.

NBGSC 2010 awaits you!
