Help Plan the Social Justice Leadership Conference

October 29, 2009, at 11:35 am      Becky Weiss '10, Vice President

The annual Social Justice Leadership Conference will be taking place in February this year. This event was developed by the WSA and Student Activities & Leadership Development (SALD) about three years ago, and since then has evolved to its current conference format.

The goal of the conference is to educate people about social justice and how to apply it to their lives, including through activism. There will be many interesting sessions and workshops throughout the day intended to engage a large number of people from the Wesleyan community and beyond.

We are looking for folks interested in helping to plan the conference. As a committee we will be looking for students or student groups interested in leading sessions, coordinate logistics, and hopefully put on a social justice film series the week before the event.

There will be an initial planning meeting on Friday November 6 from 12-1 in the Registrar’s Conference Room in North College. If you want to get involved please come to this meeting! If you can’t make it email rweiss@wesleyan.edu.
