2025 Equity Symposium
The Wisdom of Stories
April 16 - 17
What can stories offer us during uncertain times? Stories provide a way to understand one another and make sense of our experience. Stories give us grounding and hope and can help us envision a future that is more just and liberated. Sharing our personal stories gives us a way to be known, seen, and understood as a remedy to isolation and loneliness. Stories allow us to transmit and preserve cultural knowledge. Stories can be told in a multitude of mediums, from creative expressions like visual and media arts, music, writing, and our fashion choices, to the stories we tell through scientific research and data. Join us as we use the wisdom of stories to fortify ourselves for the challenges ahead.
Participate in the Equity Symposium
Each year the Equity Symposium creates space for our community to come together toward the common goal of growing our knowledge and skills in the areas of equity, social justice, and liberation. The Symposium would not be possible without our community’s collaboration!
Students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to propose a workshop, attend symposium sessions, volunteer to support the event, and participate in ways that allow you to engage in learning and share your unique gifts with our community.
