Volunteer at the Power & Privilege Symposium
|
By the Power & Privilege Symposium Executive Team
|
The 2026 Power and Privilege Symposium will take place on Thursday, Feb. 19. This year’s symposium theme of “Belonging in the Face of Power” invites our community to examine how belonging is built through daily choices to show up for one another.
The Power and Privilege Executive Team is seeking student volunteers to help support this year’s events and speakers. Volunteering is a great way to engage with the symposium and support campuswide conversations around power, privilege and social justice.
Sign up today!
