Conference Details

By now many have heard that we will not gather at Sac State for the 26^th Annual Multicultural Education Conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its place will be an abridged version featuring a live webinar on Saturday April 25 at 9:00am PST. We are disappointed about the need to cancel the face to face meeting. We also understand that not coming together at this time will contribute to the health and longevity of our region.

Unfortunately, in the midst of this global health crisis, racial/social injustice is morphing to fit the moment.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Nolan Cabrera

We are pleased that our keynote speaker Dr. Nolan Cabrera will help us understand the evolving presence of white supremacy on our campuses, and the research-based promise of Ethnic Studies in K-College education.
