Service, Social Justice, and Leadership: Student-Led and Student-Created
The Universal Leadership Conference (ULC) is a student-run conference that provides leadership experience and training for college students. The programming for this conference offers students a variety of opportunities to understand and reflect on the interconnectedness of service, social justice, and leadership. The goal of the Universal Leadership Conference is to help students understand and better themselves, their peers, and their community.
A Day to Engage
Students will connect with their peers, alumni, and members of their community through networking, workshops, keynotes, and guided reflection.
Inspiration and a Call to Action
The day will feature several keynote speakers, including two from Cascadia and UW Bothell alumni.
Additionally, we are excited to bring special guest Debbie Carlsen, Executive Director of LGBTQ Allyship, a Seattle-based social and economic justice organization that intentionally works with other marginalized communities to create systemic change that benefits LGBTQ, low-income, immigrants, women, people of color, youth, seniors, people with disabilities and working class individuals.
