Once registered, students will be split up into two groups, Group A and Group B. Students from the same school will not be split up between the two groups. All students from one school will be in the same group. The two groups are to accommodate schools and students in different time zones. Group assignments will be announced by October 23.
About SDLC
The NAIS Online Student Diversity Leadership Conference is a multiracial, multicultural gathering of upper school student leaders (grades 9-12) from across the U.S. and abroad. SDLC focuses on self-reflecting, forming allies, and building community. Led by a diverse team of trained adult and peer facilitators, participating students develop cross-cultural communication skills, design effective strategies for social justice practice through dialogue and the arts, and learn the foundations of allyship and networking principles. In addition to large group sessions, SDLC "family groups" and "home groups" allow for dialogue and sharing in smaller units.
