High School Student Empowerment Conferences
Continue offering the high school student empowerment conferences during the winter and spring quarters. This is a great opportunity for high school students to meet staff and faculty members while also attending workshops with a cultural focus. These conferences are a great way to implement the idea of attending college in a fun and interactive way. Introduce students to their respective Village.

By fostering broad campus involvement, we aim to create a collaborative and impactful event that supports and empowers our high school junior senior students.
