Power of One: Back to Our Roots The Power of One as we know it today was born on the rolling hills of the Palouse back in 2004 and was called Out in the Middle of Wheatfields. Six years later, it is an honor to once again bring participants back to the Palouse. Participants will come together for the Power of One and get BACK TO OUR ROOTS for community building and leadership development.
In support of the theme- Back to Our Roots – and congruent with the Power of One Leadership Development Curriculum, the 2010 Power of One Annual Conference program sessions selected will address the following broad questions:
Ally Development : What are the ways in which we can change campus climate and develop our Allies toward greater respect and appreciation for people of different sexual orientations?
Gender: Gender is fundamentally about social interaction and relationships and is expressed in many different ways by many different identities and ways of knowing. So, how do we gain a better understanding of gender beyond the binary?
Health and Wellness: What are the ways in which we can navigate healthy bodies and healthy lives?
Social Justice: What are strategies for creating change on our campuses and in our communities and how do we promote greater understanding?
Leadership: How do we develop student leaders to build upon the legacy of their individual and collective strengths? What is the student role in leading movements or managing conflict, particularly in times of crises, economic challenges, and rapid change in the political environment?
Creative Arts: How do we express ourselves?
Advising and Administration: How do you teach a rebel to be a leader? How do you walk the line between advocate and administrator?
