2025 Spectrum Conference

�Ա��Ƶ

The Spectrum Conference brings together students, faculty, and staff from �Ա��Ƶ, Hamilton, Hobart and William Smith, St. Lawrence, Skidmore, Union, and beyond for a weekend of community building, networking, and knowledge sharing. This free event celebrates a diverse range of sexualities, gender identities and expressions, backgrounds and experiences, cultures, and the insights we bring to social justice and advocacy.

This year's theme is Queer* Spaces and Places. We invite students, faculty, and staff to explore this theme through workshops, roundtables, information sessions, and interactive engagement, including games and performances. Attendees are encouraged to express their vision of this theme in the form of visual, written, or multimedia art that will be displayed during the conference.

About the Conference
