Learn from fun, interactive workshops.
The conference features 32 workshop sessions, 4 roundtables, and more than 12 information-packed hours of practical help, ideas, tips, and advice on how to improve your Student Government.
This 2021 conference will be available ONLINE only.
Ideally, your SG officers, members, and advisors will attend in person on your campus together (using your institution’s required safety protocols). However, if you can’t attend as a group, each person is welcome to log-in from their own computers/phones/devices, no matter where they are.
