All invited to second annual Voices Conference Oct. 20-21

The Intercultural Resource Center is hosting the second annual Voices Conference at George Fox Oct. 20-21!

This Multicultural Leadership conference is an open to people from all backgrounds and cultures. 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 George Fox employees Jenny Elsey and Bryce Coefield, to make this conference a reality at George Fox.
