CRCC Spring Conference
Advocacy, Solidarity, & Empowerment
“The Struggle is Real!”
 
 March 29, 2023
8:30 - 4:30 p.m.
Bone Student Center
 
CRCC invites students, staff, and faculty to attend our Spring 2023 conference. As a grassroots initiative, the conference works to build solidarity across our campus community to empower students, staff, and faculty fighting for equity. The struggle continues to be real when it comes to actualizing anti-bias and anti-racist campus spaces. Conference attendees will consider persisting institutional and community barriers to equity and identify actions they may take in their professional and community roles. Collectively, we will ask: how do we build solidarity across groups, and what specific actions support change?
Registration is free and open to the public.
   
 
What is CRCC?

CRCC stands for Culturally Responsive Campus Community. The CRCC conference works to actively recognize and rectify inequitable experiences and create a more just campus. Continuing the work of the previous five years, the CRCC facilitates transformative education and meaningful action for the Illinois State University community, with focus on dismantling anti-Black racism.
