The UIC Martin Luther King Jr. Student Leadership Conference: Restoring Hope, Reclaiming Justice. Join us for a large one-day, in-person leadership event on campus! This year’s conference invites students to explore justice-centered leadership through keynote speakers, interactive workshops, restorative practices, and creative expressions rooted in community and liberation.

Join fellow UIC students as we honor Dr. King’s legacy by imagining new possibilities for healing, community-building, and collective action. Come learn, connect, and grow as we work to restore hope and reclaim justice together.

We want to thank all our Co-Sponsors who are making this event possible! UIC Black Cultural Center, the African American Academic Network, the Jane Addams Hull House Museum, the Rigo Padilla-Pérez Undocumented Student Resource Center, Khaos Creative Collective, WeDesi, UIC Student Engagement, the UIC Library, and the Urban Public Policy Fellowship Program.
