The Women of Color Summit at °µÍø½ûÇø was established in 2019 by student leaders who identified the need for a space dedicated to affirming, centering, and uplifting the experiences of women of color on campus. Entirely student-led since its inception, the Summit has become an annual, multi-day event that brings together students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members.
This year’s theme, Authenticity: Defying Definitions, calls us to reject narrow narratives and reclaim the power of self-definition. Together, we will explore what it means to live, lead, and belong on our own terms, honoring the fullness and complexity of women of color at Dickinson and beyond.
