Women of Color Leadership Conference
The Cultural Centers and the Office of Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) are excited to present the seventh annual University of San Francisco Women of Color Leadership Conference. Our conference is FREE and open to the public, featuring facilitators affiliated with the University of San Francisco who facilitate various sessions grounded in women’s leadership, women and gender studies, and cross-cultural feminisms. 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.
We are now accepting conference session proposals from USF students, staff, faculty, and alumni. We eagerly seek proposals responsive to this year's theme: Community as Resistance, encompassing ways that communities uplift our collective duties to one another, build capacity to realize each other as active agents of liberation, and embody bravery and power.
