Student Leadership Summit

Deadline to Register:

Monday, July 16, 2018 - 5:00pm

Event Dates: August 2-4, 2018

We are pleased to announce Umoja’s 1st Annual Student Leadership Summit. We are inviting each Umoja Program to send five student leaders and one advisor who commits to working with these students next academic year to our summit. This is an all expenses paid event. We are asking each program to identify and commit five student leaders who will continue to attend their college next academic year.

The Umoja Community has been working toward this moment for many years and we are excited to convene, train, and organize our student leaders to go forward to make great contributions to their local programs and the broader campus environment for African American students this coming academic year. The summit will not only provide historically and culturally grounded leadership training, Umoja will also share a virtual platform that enables Umoja student leaders to communicate, strategize, and support each other over the course of the year. Umoja student leaders will also be featured prominently in next years Umoja events and receive ongoing training provided by Umoja throughout the year.

Join us as we organize over 250 empowered African American student leaders to make a significant impact on Black achievement in our system. Once we take this step together, there is no stopping us, so please mobilize your team to attend this first annual summit.
