The 16th Annual Professional Development Summit takes place on February 1st 2025 at California State University – East Bay. Join us for another year of action-driven problem solving to advance the success of African American students.

Join us for a transformative experience dedicated to equipping attendees with the tools, insights, and strategies needed to cultivate Black Student Serving Environments. As we embrace the spirit of Habari Gani – sharing the good news, this event will provide a platform for sharing best practices, celebrating achievements, and fostering a deeper commitment to supporting Black students’ academic and personal success.

We encourage participants to attend with team members from their respective institutions. Examples of teams include but are not limited to: Equity Teams, Instructional Leadership Teams, School Sites (K-12, Higher Education, etc.), or Academic Cohorts. If you register as a solo attendee, the AAREA team will place you in the best group to maximize your PDS experience.
