The Health & Wellness team is thrilled to invite you to IncludEd in Schools, taking place on Nov. 2, at Westminster University in Salt Lake City, Utah. This year, we are proudly celebrating our women in education, and we would love for you to join us at this event!
IncludEd in Schools is a day dedicated to celebrating, connecting, and uplifting our education community. The conference kicks off with registration and a vibrant Community Resource Fair at 10 a.m., where you can connect with local organizations such as our Teacher Fellows and Bolder Way Forward, along with many other valuable resources.
We’re excited to feature a dynamic keynote address titled “Unstoppable” by Charlene Lui, the Executive Director of the National Association for Multicultural Education.
