Triton Leaders Conference: Allyship

An invigorating movement is underway, as we continue to explore and reimagine an inclusive community where everyone can thrive. As we build on the theme of advancing equity, we’ll dig deeper, exploring marginalized communities through the lens of Allyship — the lifelong process of building relationships on trust, consistency and accountability. Real change begins with each of us and our ability to show up for one another.

Join us February 4-5, 2022 for a weekend of impact, inspiration and celebration, as we delve into this important work. Hear from dynamic speakers and attend meaningful workshop sessions. Learn how to advance your leadership goals and acquire new skills, network, expand your influence and pay it forward. Help us acknowledge the best of our Triton community — alumni and campus leaders who are making a difference. Because as a unified Triton community, we can achieve so much more.

This year, the conference is in proud partnership with #USvsHate, a national project of UC San Diego CREATE (Center for Research on Educational Equity, Assessment & Teaching Excellence) and Professor Mica Pollock’s #Schooltalking. #USvsHate is an educator- and youth-led messaging project designed to counter bigotry in schools, create welcoming classrooms, and embrace inclusion and justice for all in our diverse schools and society. The #USvsHate image featured above is a Spring 2021 winner created by the Kilby Laboratory School (Florence, AL) 4th grade class of 2020-2021. Learn more
