Social Justice Summit 2026 Proposals Open
The Social Justice, Equity and Inclusion Center is now accepting submissions for the 32nd Annual Social Justice Summit happening on March 4-6, 2026. Students, staff, faculty, and community members are invited to submit workshop or discussion proposals that contribute to this year’s theme and to the broader purpose of the Summit. We welcome contributions from anyone who feels inspired to share their knowledge, creativity, or lived experiences.
The Social Justice Summit is a space dedicated to challenging dominant narratives and uplifting the experiences of BIPOC, queer, disabled, and other intersectional communities. Each year, the Summit fosters thoughtful dialogue, community-building, and opportunities for learning and empowerment.
This year’s theme, Moving Together: Expression in Action, centers movement as social, physical, and emotional. Movement is expression, progress, and a call for change. It connects us and reflects our collective journey toward justice and equity. The 2026 Summit highlights how we move, rise, express, and transform together, both individually and as a community.
We encourage proposals that bring light to stories, truths, and experiences that are often overlooked, while creating meaningful pathways for reflection, connection, and collective momentum.
