After a re-imagining of what an all-inclusive leadership summit entails, the Women & Gender Equity in Leadership Summit (formerly known as the Auraria Women’s Leadership Conference), serves as a peak day of advocacy and mobilization for the Auraria campus.

This year's theme is "Banned: Books, Bodies, Choices" to discuss and address the recent disheartening events including, but not limited to: legislation of ideologies, banning discussion and education about identities, and limitation on choice in healthcare, housing & employment. 

The Summit will provide an array of dialogic sessions and skill-based workshops that aim to empower, advocate, and develop a more just understanding of inequities that affect women and gender-expansive individuals, and is open to students, staff, and faculty who want to develop in their practice with inclusive action, critical thought and inquiry.
