About this Event
Join CEW+ for the 8th Annual Advocacy Symposium: Celebrating 60 Years of Inspiring Potential. This year’s symposium celebrates the 60-year history of the Center’s legacy of empowerment and reinforcing its commitment to making potential possible. The symposium also highlights the work of students, staff, and community advocates whose work reaches the U-M campus and beyond. We invite you to join us for a full day of activities designed to inspire potential, including meeting the 2025 Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist, participating in workshops (focused on Supporting Non-traditional Students, Empowered Communication, Mindful Self-Compassion and Self-Advocacy, Storytelling for Social Change), and more!
The symposium will culminate with the Christobel Kotelawela Weerasinghe Keynote Lecture by Deepa Iyer. Deepa, author of Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection, will provide a roadmap for how we can engage in effective and sustainable social change efforts as individuals and organizations during times of crisis and beyond.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Breakfast and check-in begin at 8:00 am, and the event begins at 9:00 am.
This symposium is free and open to the public, but registration is required for food planning.
