Breakout sessions included, but were not limited to: building sustainable partnerships; framing new pathways to science, technology, engineering and mathematics; strengthening access and opportunity; removing gender barriers in STEM, responding to the needs of non-traditional students; and responding to issues of diversity and inclusion, etc.

The conference began on Sunday afternoon (9/20/15) with a reception for the attendees. The reception was followed by a dinner for the students who had been designated as this year's HBCU All-Stars.
