Student-Focused Sessions

 

Student Leaders will be giving presentations in all of our workshop tracks at the conference. Descriptions of our sessions can be found here. In addition to these sessions, you can hear students presenting in the following educational offerings:

 

Student Convergence

We will host a student convergence on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 from 8am – 1pm, where we will be highlighting new student campaigns, upcoming projects, and skill-sharing workshops. Students will also have a chance to network with other student leaders from California Community College, California State University, University of California, and Private campuses throughout the state collectively as well as amongst students from their own systems. The convergence is free and you can attend it without attending the main conference.
Can I present at the convergence?
Yes! Fill out the Call for Proposals form [Word doc: 29KB] and email your submission to katie.maynard@2010sustconf.org.
