2022 EDI Leadership Summit: Call for Innovative Spotlights

The call for innovative spotlights is a “twist” to a call for poster presentations; let us embrace our virtual spaces.

All parties—undergraduate, graduate, doctoral students, post-doctoral scholars, fellows, residents, staff, faculty, alumni, and Greater Rochester Community members—are welcome to participate in the summit’s innovative spotlights presentations. If you have a research project, thesis or dissertation work, or idea or concept, we invite you to utilize the innovative spotlight opportunity to share your work at the summit. The innovative spotlights segment of the summit is a great opportunity to showcase your academic, scholarly, professional, or community action-oriented work and receive feedback.

The deadline to submit an innovative spotlight is February 9, 2022 by 5pm EST. Decisions regarding innovative spotlights will be sent by February 25, 2022.
