Student Diversity & Leadership Conference
About The Conference:
The SUNY Oneonta Student Diversity & Leadership Conference is an event designed for individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to interact with student, administrator, and faculty presenters and exchange information to enhance multicultural comprehension, self-awareness, and leadership skills. Participants applied the acquired skills, tools, and insight to advance their personal development and be effective leaders both on campus and in the surrounding communities.

What Unites Us
In a world that can appear increasingly hostile and divisive, this conference looked to bring together a series of panels, talks, roundtables, artistic expressions, posters, and workshops that consider the concepts of solidarity, equity, and justice in spaces that range from the local to the national and the global. We looked at how we view and interact with leaders in our world, schools, and communities, and how we can bring a more equitable environment to all.
