Call for Proposals

If you or someone you know may be interested in presenting an in-person session at the conference, please submit a proposal by August 23. Proposals should relate to one or more of three program topics, including communities, schools and workplaces; politics; and homelife.

The conference is designed to engage and educate young males of color about their opportunities for success through higher education, professional training and mentorship.

This day of engaging programming will provide a positive and supportive space for participants to learn and share ideas. The conference theme pays tribute to Octavius V. Catto, the Philadelphia civil rights leader, voting rights advocate, educator and veteran who was killed in 1871 on Election Day, and the namesake of the College’s Octavius Catto Scholarship.

We will be in touch with more updates closer to the conference, but in the meantime, please spread the word about this exciting event! We hope to see you there.
