members can choose from over 60 breakout sessions *ranging from workshops,
readings, performances, discussions, and presentations on a diverse range
of issues related to social justice.


*During lunchtime in the ACC 1st floor and outside in Amitie Plaza, *there
will be food truck vendors to buy lunch, free hot chocolate provided by the
DEI Office, and entertainment provided by the SUNY Plattsburgh Gospel Choir.
Multicultural businesses, student entrepreneurs, and community groups will
also host tables to share more about their organizations.



*At 5:30 p.m. in Yokum 200*, we will cap off the day with a* keynote
presentation by Nicky Hylton-Patterson, a Black queer activist scholar and
community organizer*. Her keynote is entitled, *Community DEI: Lessons from
the Field*. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to attend as many
sessions as possible.
