Amplifying Student Voices: Conversations on Race, Equity, and Inclusion in Education is a Seed Grant sponsored event on May 5, 2018 from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM that builds on the work that began at the Robinson Center’s Equity Summit in February 2017. In response to requests from youth in our community, this event is an opportunity for high school youth and undergraduates to plan, organize and contribute to discussions related to race and equity in education. We are excited to have you contribute your ideas to a larger conversation of diversity and equity in our community.
