Kentucky Association of Blacks in Higher Education - About Us


Kentucky Association of Blacks in Higher Education

Kentucky Association of Blacks in Higher Education

KABHE, the premier organization supporting diversity efforts throughout the Commonwealth, was founded in 1983 by the late Dr. William Parker (1925-2008), then Vice-Chancellor of Minority Affairs at the University of Kentucky, and other minority leaders in the Commonwealth.

The purpose of KABHE is to promote the advancement of Blacks in higher education by articulating needs and concerns, promoting unity and cooperation, and enhancing the personal and professional growth of its membership.

The organization was patterned after the Kentucky Negro Educational Association, which was dissolved during the era of desegregation, to maintain and uphold the goals as the needs remain. KABHE maintains its membership and participation as an affiliate with the American Association of Blacks in Higher Education http://www.blacksinhighered.org/.

KABHE has surpassed three decades with the purpose of supporting the educational and professional needs of diversity in higher education. Working to assist Kentucky colleges and universities with the recruitment, retention, and development of diverse faculty, staff, and students.

KABHE focuses on leadership, access, and vital issues impacting higher education. Pertinent educational issues are discussed and solutions are explored during regional meetings and annual conferences. Scholarships and awards are also presented and learning communities are formed to ensure impactful relationships are fostered among professionals in the field.
