Information for Schools & Groups

Why should student clubs and orgs attend?

One of the core goals of the Cal State East Bay Queer Conference is to strengthen Queer and Trans leadership on campuses all across California. Attending the conference can help you develop new skills, network, and learn new ideas. LGBTQAI students at CSUs and Community Colleges face many of the same struggles, by coming together in shared spaces we can share information and bring new action plans back to our respective campuses. If your group would like to attend please follow our group registration procedure.
