Show Me Pride College Summit is structured to allow participants to guide the direction of the day. In the morning, we will have some pre-set programs and sessions, but will open up the Summit with a conversation to decide what the day may look like. There are four kinds of sessions:

-Facilitated Discussion: Pre-selected topic with a discussion led by a facilitator
-Caucus: Shared identity space (Can be open or closed to other identities)
-Workshop: Interactive activity
-Presentation: PowerPoint, scripted delivery lecture with Question and Answer

You can prepare as little or as much as you want! Think of specific conversations that you’d like to see, or prepare a presentation.  Bring an activity that you think is helpful, or bring a question that might be worth talking about! The day is up to the participants, so there is a lot of flexibility.  In your registration form we will ask if you are thinking of bringing a presentation so that we have A/V set up and ready to go.

Because this is an Unconference, there tends to be a fair amount of conversation. Be sure to take care of yourself so that you’re ready to participate as much as you can!

Show Me Pride College Summit is free for participants. This is made possible by the support of Missouri Colleges and Universities coming together to support this program financially.  We ask that colleges that are sending students consider supporting the conference.  Suggested levels are provided below, but we will take any kind of support.  Questions about sponsorship and funding can be sent to Eli Kean at KeanE@missouri.edu
