Welcome to Southwest Center for Human Relations Studies

The National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education (NCORE) is our flagship program, uniting higher education professionals to address race and ethnicity issues in academia. Held annually, it attracts attendees from over 1,200 institutions and serves as a key forum for promoting access, education, and cross-cultural understanding.

The Journal Committed to Social Change on Race and Ethnicity (JCSCORE) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that promotes the exchange of ideas impacting human relations in higher education. By disseminating research and insights, JCSCORE fosters inclusivity and equity within higher education and offers valuable resources for public educators.

NCORE Connections provides a dynamic virtual experience that strengthens the link between higher education and public education through keynotes, sessions, and coffee chats. This initiative fosters meaningful connections and knowledge sharing, with all sessions available on demand for a year and many offering CEUs.

Reels on Human Relations showcases films addressing issues of human conflict and resolution in higher education. This initiative sparks dialogue and education through thought-provoking films, encouraging introspection and fostering a deeper understanding of these topics across educational sectors.

NCORE Webinars offer a series on specific topics, such as program measurement, college athletics, and classroom inclusion, providing valuable insights into fostering inclusive campuses and addressing social justice issues. Many webinars include CEUs or credentials, benefiting professionals in both higher and public education.

Technical Assistance, Consultation, and Training (TACT) provides comprehensive assistance to organizations addressing human conflict and resolution. By collaborating with both higher education and public education institutions, TACT develops tailored strategies to enhance internal capacity and promote conflict resolution, fostering a more harmonious educational landscape
