The proposal period is now closed.
We are seeking faculty, staff and student organizations who have demonstrated a commitment to student success to submit program proposals for the Ignite Conference. We are requesting proposals in the following areas:
- Moving: When we look at moving, we think about the journey of change and the experiences that go with it. Sessions that are submitted under the Moving category should focus on topics that ask questions such as: What does positive action look like? How do we use our past to inform our present and future? How do social movements influence our societies?
- Workshop topic ideas: History of Social Movements; Allyship vs. Accomplice; Intersectionality; Current Social Movements: They’re Important, Burnout: What Is It, etc.
- Shaking: When we look at shaking things up, we think about concepts of challenging the status quo, challenging the process, developing stronger thought spaces. Sessions that are submitted under the Shaking category should focus on topics that educate and motivate attendees on ways they can begin changemaker work.
- Workshop topic ideas: Challenging the Space, Activism, Barrier Interventions/Overcoming Barriers, etc.
- Activating: When we look at activating, we think about starting your journey of change, concepts of tangible next steps, personifying passions, examples of existing initiatives/programs and creating plans of action. Sessions that are submitted under Activating should focus on topics that educate and motivate attendees on how to make plans and ideas into actionable steps.
- Workshop topic ideas: Goal Setting, Strategic Planning, Examples of Events and Initiatives, Let’s Identify Where and How to Start, etc.
