Registration, Breakfast and Entertainment
Faculty advisors will register their schools as they arrive. We provide a light breakfast while participants enjoy live performances by student groups. We urge all schools to arrive as early as possible.

Volunteer student facilitators meet during this time to go over last minute details. These student facilitators will be running the discussion groups from 10:15 to 11:35 am.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Opening Ceremonies
Each year our executive committee selects one lively performance group to wake everyone up, and a keynote speaker with a inspiring message relating to diversity. We also award the Conference Scholarship and the Human Rights Award.
10:15 - 11:35 am
Discussion Groups & Lunch
After a fifteen-minute break, students join a discussion group without their classmates to talk about diversity issues with students from across the state.

Meanwhile, faculty advisors gather to have their own discussion on diversity issues and teaching techniques.
