UNITED Conference
For nearly two decades, Northern Michigan University has proudly brought together students, faculty, staff, and community members through the annual UNITED Conference: Uniting Neighbors in the Experience of Diversity. Since its inception, UNITED has served as a cornerstone event to advance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) on campus and in the broader Marquette community.
It is a platform for learning, sharing, and fostering meaningful dialogue that promotes understanding across identities and experiences.
This year’s theme, "Voices of the Earth: Learning, Leading, and Advancing Equity Together," centers the interconnectedness between environmental justice and social equity. It reminds us that addressing climate change and sustainability must include justice for the marginalized communities disproportionately affected by environmental degradation.
We're looking for passionate educators, activists, students, and leaders to present at this year's conference.
