Faculty from universities all over the nation will take the time to learn from each other this weekend.
The Symposium on the Recruitment & Retention of Students of Color will begin Sunday at the Embassy Suites KCI Hotel, 7640 NW Tiffany Springs Pkwy in Kansas City, Mo.
About 20 KU faculty members will attend the seventh annual symposium, which runs from Sunday to Tuesday.
The symposium was created as a way for faculty from different schools to present their methods for recruiting and retaining students of color.
"A lot of it is just sharing what other institutions are doing," said Rebecca Bailey, program assistant for the Office of Multicultural Affairs, who will be attending the symposium for the first time.
The University's main strategy for recruiting and retention of students of color is embedded in its Hawk Link program.

When it started in five years ago, Hawk Link had 36 students.
Hawk Link, which was started during the 1999-2000 school year, is an academic-based retention program for first-year students designed to help them navigate through the University.
Casino Night Time Warp, a free event presented by Hawk Nights, Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and the Department of Student Housing, will be at 8 Tonight in Templin Hall
There are 303 students enrolled in Hawk Link, which is a part of the Office of Multicultural Affairs. There were 228 students enrolled last year; 84 percent returned for their sophomore year.
Last year more than 700 students attended the event, and Rachel Hurlbert, Hawk Nights adviser, said she expected it to be about the same this year.
One stipulation of the decision is that universities can't offer programs just for minority students anymore.
Bailey said the Supreme Court's decision in June 2003 regarding the University of Michigan case Gratz v. Bollinger will be discussed at the symposium.
Each floor of Templin is decorated in different decades, and students can dress up in costumes for the themes. Some themes include the swinging '20s, the sock hopping' 50s and
It ruled that the school's affirmative action policy was unconstitutional because it favored underrepresented minorities.
Hawk Link accepts nonminority students, and has a few of them. But Bailey doesn't think that the Supreme Court decision will have a significant effect on the program. She said Hawk Link was well-established at the University and any change would not be rapid.
"If I'm not taking them in. I'm doing a disservice to them," he said.
The program is helpful for first-year students regardless of who participates, said Juan Izaguirre Pena, assistant director for the Office of Multicultural Affairs. He said he liked the idea of all students being able to participate.
Bailey and Izaguirre Pena will give a presentation about Hawk Link at the symposium. The only other school in the Big 12 that has a program similar to Hawk Link is Iowa State, Bailey said.
the groovy '70s.
Students will get the opportunity to participate in a casino environment and can win prizes. Hurlbert said students could win sports packages, Royals tickets, a stereo, a mini refrigerator, DVDs and a DVD player.
