WILD Conference

Sat, November 2, 2019

9:30 AM – 4:00 PM EDT

MSU Union – Ballroom

 

 

The theme of the 2019 conference is “Reimagine, Recenter, Resist”:

 

Reimagine

We are reimagining what it means to provide an initiative for women’s leadership development by bringing back an annual leadership conference held at MSU. We also recognize that creativity and innovation are required as part of imagining leadership: on campus and beyond.

 

Recenter

The WILD 2019 Conference will explore the passions and purposes that live at our core. We will (re)center and empower women-identified Spartans. We also recognize the intersectional nature of this work; gender is only one aspect of our identities.

 

Resist

In strategizing ways to dismantle barriers faced by members of all minoritized groups, the WILD 2019 Conference will connect students to resources and opportunities for equitable social change on campus and in our community.

 

Keynote speaker for this event is Lauren Bealore, a graduate of MSU’s James Madison College in 2011. Lauren is the Co-Founder of Young, Ambitious and Beautiful and a Michigan Political Director for a national political organization.
