Diversity Summit 2025
Chaos or Community: The Choice is Ours
The SUNY Geneseo Diversity Summit will take place on February 25, 2025. It is a full day of diversity-focused sessions hosted by students, faculty, staff, and other community members looking to share their perspectives and have meaningful conversations. There are no classes that day, and the Summit is free to attend.
This year’s theme is “Chaos or Community: The Choice is Ours.” The deadline to submit session proposals is January 20, 2025. Sessions may vary in length and format, and creative collaborations across campus are welcomed and encouraged. Programming examples include presentations, discussions, activities, performances, and exhibitions. Submit your Diversity Summit session proposal today! Based on the growth over the past few years, the organizers are hoping to double the number of concurrent sessions this year. Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity!
Coming Soon! Visit the Diversity Summit page of the Geneseo Events Calendar for the full list of Summit sessions. To save a session to your agenda, view the session and then click "add to calendar" (coming soon!).
Diversity Summit Program and Schedule will be available in February 2025.
