Testimonials
"Nothing can prepare you for the intensity of this conference: the intensity of the curriculum, schedule, and relationships. However, in the end, you will emerge from the difficult path with an awesome experience that cannot be described except through actually experiencing it yourself."
— Jeremy Ried, Lane Community College
"I learned to be more mindful about how our different identities can influence the way we interact and the assumptions we can wrongly make about one another."
— Holly Jones, University of Washington
"There are so many ideas from the institute that you can bring back to your campus to promote positive change and progress. The intimate and close conversations you get to have with the facilitators can help you grow as a student leader and as a person. It will change your life. I know it did for me."
— Neal Spradlin, Austin College
