UW YGB Conference!

Young, Gifted and Black 2010
“My Education, My Future”



The University of Washington Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity cordially invites your students to the 2010 Young, Gifted and Black Conference (YGB). The event will be held on Saturday, May 22, 2010 on the University of Washington - Seattle campus.

YGB is an important outreach program for African-American high school students who are interested in attending college. Last year we proudly had 170 African-American students from all over the state of Washington attend the 2009 YGB conference and we are expecting a similar attendance this year.

We ask that you inform your students of this wonderful opportunity to experience higher education, as well as connect with prominent Black people within the UW and Seattle communities. Please encourage your students to respond as soon as possible. Participation in this conference will be based on priority and a first come, first served basis. Priority will be given to high school freshman, sophomores, and juniors with above a 3.0 GPA. The application deadline is Wednesday, May 5, 2010.
