Diverse: Issues In Higher Education magazine is offering special opportunities to sponsor the 2008 John Hope Franklin Symposium & Gala. This two-day event focuses on cutting-edge issues in higher education such as those to which distinguished scholar, historian, and humanitarian John Hope Franklin has devoted most of his 93 years. The specific sponsorship opportunities are listed below along with the benefits associated with each level. Please note that in addition to package sponsorships, your choices this year also include sponsorship of specific symposium panels, events, or related items.

In addition we are pleased to announce that the net proceeds for this year's gala and silent auction will support The Durham Literacy Center. An organization that Dr. Franklin has selected as beneficiary.
