The CSA hopes to empower attendees to use the Learn by Doing spirit to challenge social norms, ask critical questions, demand solutions and make lasting social change. Through an inspiring keynote and engaging speaker series in the months leading up to and following, our hope is attendees will leave with a new-found sense and understanding of social justice, and how they can take ownership of their role in moving the needle with regard to social change.
