Social Justice, Then and Now - 2022 Student Leadership Conference

Michael Gilbert, Black Male Initiative Coordinator, will engage with conference participants regarding an abbreviated historic overview of social justice movements across college campuses generations ago to date. It is his hope that students are enthusiastically “tuned in” and depart this conversation with an understanding with respect to progress made, there are still societal concerns they should feel empowered to actively address.

The Student Leadership Conference runs April 5-8, with sessions each day. The full listing of events can be found below:
