STUDENT OF
COLOR CONFERENCE 2011
E.D.U.C.A.T.E.: Connecting Our Struggles
November 11-13, 2011

Greetings from the SoCC 2011 Planning Committee

The 23rd annual Student of Color Conference (S.o.C.C.) will be hosted by the University of California Davis on November 11th to 13th, 2011! This year's theme will be E.D.U.C.A.T.E.: Connecting Our Struggles. The acronym E.D.U.C.A.T.E. stands for "Elevate, Dedicate, Unify, Celebrate and Advocate to Empower". We wish to recognize and celebrate the differences and similarities in our lives and struggles with the intention of helping each other achieve our goals now and in the future. This years conference focus will be on our ability to E.D.U.C.A.T.E. and be educated. By hosting the 2011 SoCC at UC Davis we hope to propose policy changes that will help empower the youth of today and tomorrow and that will concentrate on education and not incarceration.
