“Partnership for Transformation: Moving Students To and Through College” was the theme of the 55th Annual NPAC Leadership Conference attended by a dozen Huston-Tillotson University students. HT is a charter member of UNCF as one of the 38 UNCF member-colleges and universities in attendance at the week-long conference.

Each day was filled with sessions to equip and prompt UNCF scholars with the skills and tools needed to find their path to greatness, dress for success, and to gaining the job of their dreams.
