Encouraging Inclusivity and Authenticity

The Office of Student Activities in partnership with Institutional Diversity, Advocacy and Leadership hosts the Inclusive Leadership Conference (ILC) is geared toward individuals embracing authenticity as a form of self-advocacy, leveraging the unique contributions of others and resisting the negative cultural and societal norms that attempt to filter who they truly are.
