SOU César E. Chávez Leadership Conference

Friday, March 15, 2013

Southern Oregon University is hosting the second annual César E. Chávez Leadership Conference on the SOU campus. The conference is a gathering of Latino high school students/leaders in Southern Oregon nominated from five regional high schools: North Medford, South Medford, Eagle Point, Phoenix and Crater.

The goal of the day-long César E. Chávez Leadership Conference is to increase Latino high school students’ preparation to become leaders and develop their knowledge about contemporary issues within the Latino community. In addition, the conference strongly encourages Latino youth to pursue educational opportunities beyond high school. Participants  attend workshops focusing on leadership, cultural arts, and college preparation. Students are assigned to groups hosted by SOU’s Latino student ambassadors throughout the day’s events.
