The theme is targeted and specific but allows for creativity on the part of the students submitting workshop proposals.

We want all students, white, black, middle-class, affluent, working class, international students, to think about why addressing these issues is important for the educational experience elite liberal arts colleges impart on all of their students. We want to raise questions and problem-solve about how academia as a whole can affect change in larger society.

The conference is looking to address ways in which liberal arts colleges are not completely friendly to people from non-dominant groups and how we can institute policies and programs to change that.
