2019 Social Justice Conference

Friday, March 22, 2019 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM

A FREE one day conference for students, faculty, and staff to engage in various workshops about social justice topics and issues. This year's theme is Changing the Unacceptable, inspired by a quote from Angela Davis: "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept."

Keynote Speaker: Aneesah Smith, M.S.

She is a proud graduate of West Chester University (WCU), obtaining a B.S. in Health Education and M.S. in Counseling/Higher Education. Currently she is a national speaker, activist and social justice educator who inspires those she meets to live OUT loud. Her purpose in life is to use her story to save lives, her passion to raise awareness through education and her privilege to uplift the voices of the oppressed.

Her presentations and keynote speeches have been featured at a variety of conferences including; Creating Change, NASPA, Mid Atlantic LGBT Conference and the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference.
