Level UP: Setting the Tone for Inclusion on Campus
Chevara Orrin- Keynote Speaker

We are all part of a bigger story. Despite our seemingly obvious differences, we are connected by common threads of humanity. Oftentimes, it’s easier to stay within our comfort zones and the safety of what’s familiar. However, growth comes from exploring the uncomfortable and challenging ourselves to be curious about others’ unique experiences. Why does diversity matter on a college campus, anyway? As the daughter of a white, Jewish mother and black father, Chevara has explored intersectionality and navigated the complexity of cultural identity since childhood. She inspires audiences with her extraordinary journey of humorous and tragic family stories and a passion to help people discover common connections.

This session will provide the unique opportunity for collegians to think critically about current challenges such as financial sustainability or remote engagement with chapters who operate in similar ways or have similar characteristics. Participants will participate in guided conversation, network with members of like chapters, and leave with actionable strategies to take back to their chapters.
