Black Student Leadership Conference
The Black Student Leadership Summit takes place in February during Afro American History and Culture month.
Conference Details
The 2025 Black Student Leadership Conference will take place Friday, February 28, 11:30am-3:30pm. This year's theme They Not Like Us: Exploring the Diaspora, recognizes the multiple identities that make up the African Diaspora, including but not limited to African, African American, Afro-Latine/x, and Caribbean. However, in the context of Towson University, these identities are often lumped together as Black. Gaining an understanding of these various identities will shape how students navigate multiple layers of oppression and how those layers have penetrated everyday practices, beliefs, and social relations.
Exploring the Diaspora will empower students from various backgrounds to work together in order to survive,
advance, and thrive as leaders on this campus. More specifically, workshops will critically
examine and highlight the ways in which society/culture, gender and/or sexuality,
relationships, and future careers are impacted by our racial/ethnic identities.
