The conference has been canceled.

This year's conference theme is “Equity Across our Communities."  The conference aims to explore how striving for equity improves the Greater Rochester and University communities as we aspire to live up to the expectations of “Meliora.” Workshop proposals should be interactive, unique and relevant that help participants connect the stories and experiences of others for their own growth and development. The sessions should explore possibilities for creating equity in the Rochester community by examining challenges, providing actionable skills, encouraging dialogue, and empowering participants to take action.

Following the keynote address, Dr. Amalia Dache will join University and local leaders to discuss the challenges facing access to higher education. The conversation will center around how can we might amplify regional partnerships and international student pipelines to build a stronger and more diverse University community.

This will be followed by workshops throughout the day. For descriptions of individual workshops while registering for the conference, please see our website.
