This is a beautiful opportunity to invite campus members across your spaces to commune, reflect, grow, and learn with and from each other as we continually re-center our humanity in support of each other and the students we serve – given a viral and continuing racial pandemic at the intersection and adjacent of multiple primary and secondary identities.



Please find more information on the why, hotel, cost, and more for registration.

Health, Healing, and Hope: The FSOCC Anniversary Remix

The 25th Anniversary theme centers on YOU as the core of the conference. We are intent on creating a collective environment of healing, hope, and health.
