Topics of discussion are as follows: an overview of black women on campus; the university culture for students; classroom dynamics; the intersection of racism and sexism; curricular issues; black women and their choice of study; residential and social life; reaching out to black women students; admissions and financial aid; academic advising and mentoring; graduate students; barriers to the graduate degree; preuniversity students; professional climate issues; affirmative action dilemma; double discrimination; the token syndrome; mentoring and support systems; historically black colleges; women's worth in a man's world; sexuality and sexual harassment; balancing competing obligations; collegiality among faculty; research, teaching, and tenure; retention; leadership and advocacy: critical skills; general policy recommendations; ari recommendations for professional associations and organizations.
