CEW+ Advocacy Symposium: Redefining Leadership

Registration is now closed.

Join CEW+ for its annual fall symposium focused on redefining leadership. The 2019 Symposium includes a diverse group of scholars, community practitioners and international activists who embody leadership in varied ways as they advocate for change. Shannon Cohen and Stephanie Land will kick off the Symposium during the Mullin Welch Lecture where they will discuss how nontraditional leadership strategies can enhance advocacy work with a focus on self-care, resilience, and systemic change.

This working symposium is free and open to all activists, advocates, and allies from all U-M campuses (students, staff, faculty) as well as the local community.

Please note that the official symposium will be from 8:30am-5:00pm with an optional networking reception to follow.

The CEW+ Advocacy Symposium is organized in partnership with Barger Leadership Institute and Poverty Solutions at the University of Michigan with funding from CEW+’s Frances & Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and the CEW+ Mullin Welch Fund.
