Dear Colleagues,

 

We are seeking workshop presenters for the 20th Annual Students of Color Conference sponsored by the Multicultural Student Services Directors’ Council. This year’s conference, "Generation of Change: We are the Future!," will be held in Yakima, Washington, Thursday through Saturday, April 22-24, 2010. 

 

The Students of Color Conference brings together over 600 participants. Most are students of color who are emerging leaders from Washington State community colleges. The conference has evolved to provide students with key concepts of identity development, leadership skills, and essential resources necessary for  students of color to persist and achieve academic and career success.

 

Workshop subject matter must relate to one of the three sessions listed on the form:

  • Awareness of Others,
  • Cross-Cultural Communication and Skills,
  • Social Justice and Activism, and
  • Personal Development

Please carefully review the Call for Proposals Form. If you would like to present more than one workshop, please submit a separate form for each workshop.

 

Due to limited funding for the conference, we offer an optional $150.00 stipend per workshop, to help offset the cost of your conference participation as a presenter (these costs may include parking, food, hotel, travel, etc.).  If you would like to attend the entire conference, please contact us about registration information and fees. 

 

All proposals must be received by Friday, December 4, 2009, 5:00pm. See submission instructions on the form. Everyone submitting a proposal will be notified of our final decisions no later than December 31, 2009. If your proposal is chosen, we will let you know the specific time of your workshop and conference details. All workshops will be scheduled for Friday or Saturday, April 23 or 24, 2010.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Cecilia A. Martínez Vasquez at (206) 533-6618 or cmartinez4@shoreline.edu.

 

Sincerely Yours,   

2010 Students of Color Conference Planning Committee
