Overview

The Social Justice Symposium (SJS) is an intensive conference led by ´ó·¢ undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and the community. Participants will host/attend breakout sessions that explore diverse cultures, challenge social norms and inequality, and learn activist practices through interactive activities, individual reflections, and group dialogues.

The symposium consists of two intermittent sessions where 3-4 presenters will host lectures, group discussions, and/or interactive activities within the hour in different rooms. Guests get to choose which one they'd like to attend.
