2023 Power in Diversity Leadership Conference & Registration

On behalf of Student’s United, LeadMN, Minnesota State Office of Equity and Inclusion, and St. Cloud State University Multicultural Student Services, we are pleased to announce the 14^th annual Power in Diversity Leadership Conference (PIDC) that will be held January 26th-28th, 2023.

For PIDC 2023, we are shifting the model slightly to go back to the basics; grassroots organizing, advocacy work and community building. Our theme, Solidarity in Action, will guide the direction of keynotes, workshops and trainings.

Participants will earn a digital Leadership Badge for completion of the Power in Diversity Leadership Conference and there will be an additional track with the opportunity to earn an Advocacy Badge.

PIDC will offer conference workshops and trainings for attendees to develop the critical skills necessary to engage in numerous types of social justice work, develop their activism, enhance community organizing skills, integrate self-care, and practice personal reflection.

Participants will also expand their network by connecting with local and regional community organizations.

As part of the conference, it has been the tradition to partner with St. Cloud State University's Career Center and School of Graduate Studies to offer the Diversity Job and Internship Fair and Graduate School Fair on Friday, January 27th from 1:00-4:00 p.m. for conference participants and St. Cloud State University students.
