The UNITED Conference is Northern's day of diversity education. This conference is designed to bring both the NMU community and the greater Marquette community together to learn and dialogue around diversity, equity, & inclusion. 

This year’s conference theme is Continue the Conversation. 

UNITED 2024 will feature workshops and presentations to keep the conversations flowing about wellbeing, mental health, and connecting with effective treatment. 

Once again, UNITED features two keynote addresses. At noon, Patrick Yankee from Corktown health will discuss affirmative healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community. The 7:00pm evening keynote features Stephanie Foo, author of "What My Bones Know: A Memoir Of Healing From Complex Trauma." Stephanie will speak about her personal experiences as well as her thoughts about the science and psychology of complex PTSD. Her book is the 2023/24 selection for the NMU Diversity Common Reader Program.  

The main conference sessions will run from 8:45am to 9:00pm on Thursday, March 21, and will include keynote speakers, workshops, panel discussions, and more. The content covers wide fields of study.
