Participate in Voices Conference today and tomorrow

Intercultural Life is hosting the Voices Conference at George Fox today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday).

Our vision is to make students, faculty, staff and our neighbors aware of the community’s need for diversity among our leaders. It is this very vision that led Leroy and Donna Barber to begin the Voices Project, and along with Jenny Elsey, make this conference a reality at George Fox.

We will be hosting speakers including Donna and Leroy, David Bailey and Alexia Salvatierra, who will be leading workshops and discussions regarding social justice, leadership and diversity.
