Hello!
We are excited to invite you to submit a proposal for the UConn Honors DEIJ (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Justice) Reflections & Connections Conference, which will be held on Tuesday, March 11th, 2025, from 1:00pm – 6:00pm, followed by International Night from 6-8PM at The Rome Ballroom, UConn Storrs Campus.
Hosted by the Honors DEI Student Specialists, Honors for Diversity, Honors Council, and the Honors Student Leadership Board-Stamford, this interactive event aims to deepen our collective understanding of DEIJ issues, with a particular focus on their relevance to higher education and encourage reflection from participants.
We are currently seeking proposals for presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and tabling activities and stations that engage attendees in conversations and reflections on DEIJ. Formal presentations, panels, and workshops will be 45 minutes in length, while tabling activities and stations are a great option for those who wish to engage in conversations, share resources, or facilitate interactive activities in a more informal, casual way with participants. Topics should encourage dialogue and exploration of DEIJ topics, with a focus on how they intersect with and shape higher education.
Date: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
Location: The Rome Ballroom, UConn Storrs Campus
Open to: All UConn students across all campuses
Submission Deadline: Sunday, February 16th @ 11:59pm
We welcome submissions from any UConn student, student organization, faculty, or staff member including from our Regional Campus communities. Whether you prefer to lead a structured 45-minute session or host a table with engaging activities and resources, we’d love to hear from you. More details will be given after submission. Thank you!
Please send this invitation along to anyone who might be interested!
