Women of Color Leadership Conference

The Cultural Centers and the Office of Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) are excited to present the sixth annual University of San Francisco Women of Color Leadership Conference. Our conference's purpose is to engage members of the University of San Francisco and the greater San Francisco Bay Area community in centering the experiences of women of color.

At this year’s conference we invite proposals from USF students, staff, faculty, and alumni centered in women’s leadership and empowerment in a time where our future grows clouded and uncertain. We seek prospective facilitators who will uplift what it means to find community through hardship, to resist and fight back against oppression, and who can dream of alternative futures to guide us in finding collective freedom. 2025 will be an inflection point for our community, and it is our hope that our conference will continue to inspire women of color across generations to learn and grow with one another.

What is the Women of Color Leadership Conference?

The Women of Color Leadership Conference is a USF campus tradition that is now in its sixth year. Our conference is FREE and open to the public, featuring women of color affiliated with the University of San Francisco who facilitate various sessions centered in women of color leadership, empowerment, freedom dreaming, and liberation. Our conference is a merger of what was once the Latinas in Leadership Stakeholder Forum hosted by what is now the Office of ADEI, and the Women of Color Conference, a student  conference hosted by the Cultural Center
