Stanford Gender, Equity, and Justice Summit
The Stanford Summit on Gender, Equity, and Justice (formerly, the Stanford Women’s Leadership Conference)
The Stanford Women’s Leadership Conference has been an incredible program for the WCC community for the past 13 years (for more information, see below). This academic year, in 2019, the WCC Staff are excited to announce that moving forward this program will be re-imagined to the Stanford Summit on Gender, Equity, and Justice.
Mark your calendars: the 2019 Stanford Summit on Gender, Equity, and Justice will take place on Saturday, April 6, 2019!
The Women’s Community Center invites students of all genders, identities, backgrounds, and experiences to join us at the Summit on Gender, Equity, and Justice. Space will be limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
The 2018 SWLC theme was Dare to be Powerful: Our Strengths, Our Vision, Our Community. Drawing inspiration from Audre Lorde, this theme reflects our commitment to empowering ourselves and our peers to take pride in our unique powers. Thank you to all who attended!
