After a re-imagining of what an all-inclusive leadership summit entails, the Women & Gender Equity in Leadership Summit (formerly known as the Auraria Women’s Leadership Conference), serves as a peak day of advocacy and mobilization for the Auraria campus.

This year's theme is "Destroy the Dystopia" to open up conversation, brainstorming, and action items to unpack the very unreal events that have occurred in the last couple of years including, but not limited to: a global pandemic, the overturning of Roe V. Wade, and laws that infringe upon human right passing across the nation.

The Summit will provide an array of dialogic sessions and skill-based workshops that aim to empower, advocate, and develop a more just understanding of inequities that affect women and gender-expansive individuals, and is open to students, staff, and faculty who want to develop in their practice with inclusive action, critical thought and inquiry.
