A Welcome Message from the Student Leadership Conference Co-Chairs
Greetings Scholars!
On behalf of the Student Leadership Conference (SLC) planning committee, we warmly welcome you to the California State Capital, Sacramento.
We are honored to serve as co-chairs for this year’s Student Leadership Conference. We are excited for the caliber of workshops, inspirational keynote speakers, and networking opportunities, all designed to support your academic and professional goals while enhancing your personal development.
As one of the largest community college student leadership conferences in California, SLC brings together more than 500 student leaders from across the state to share skills and ideas while building stronger community and support systems for our student leaders. As a student scholar and leader your conference experiences will expand your network across the state, introduce you to best practices to implement at your local college, and provide you a forum to strengthen your voice.
There is a narrative, nationally, within our state, and on our respective campuses, that perpetuates the challenges faced by disenfranchised communities, our communities! During these crucial times, it is imperative that we voice our concerns and courageously challenge systems of oppression. Hence the SLC theme: Raising Voices, Empowering Leaders. Over the next few days, we encourage you to participate in brave dialogues, broaden your understandings, expand your compassion, and share your experience, your knowledge, and your passion for social justice!
We hope that you have a wonderful experience full of growth opportunities to enhance your vision and purpose at your college and in your surrounding community.
Thank you student scholars, student leaders, and to a phenomenal committee of professional staff who assisted with making this conference a success.
Warmest Regards,
