MUNCIE, Ind. -- Ball State University will host a national teleconference titled, "Racial Legacies and Learning: How to Talk About Race," from 1-3 p.m. Wednesday in the Pittenger Student Center Forum Room.

This live satellite event brings together the major leaders from the Association of American Colleges and Universities to talk about ways to successfully transform race relations in the classroom, on campus, and in the community.
