Illinois Black and Hispanic Higher Ed Alliance Provides for Collaboration

A coalition of Black and Hispanic higher education professionals in Illinois will host three conferences between April 19 and April 24 at the University of Illinois-Chicago campus to develop leadership skills among Black and Hispanic students, to facilitate professional development for Black and Hispanic higher education professionals, and to enable Black and Hispanic students to present academic research.

The conferences, convened by the Illinois African American and Latino Higher Education Alliance (IALHEA), represent the culmination of years of informal collaboration among Black and Hispanic higher education groups in Illinois, according to organizers.

“We’re building upon a relationship that Blacks and Latinos have had in Illinois higher education,” says Dr. Michael Toney, the acting executive director of the Urban Health Program at the University of Illinois-Chicago and an alliance leader.”*
