A conference-style event filled with breakout sessions, panels, keynotes, cultural enrichment, a celebration of music and artistry, etc. that amplifies the connection hip hop shares with education and the people/ community.
The Hip Hop IS Higher Ed symposium illustrates for people (through academic sessions, art & performance, and community dialogue) that hip-hop culture has gained a positionality that has proximity to power. Furthermore, with this power, there is "promise", hope, and access to success.
