FINDING THE
Each year the Annual Diversity Conference brings together the University of Rochester and Greater Rochester
communities, highlighting a theme to help guide the focus for the day. Diversity-related topics may involve but are not limited to race/ethnicity, class, gender, culture, sexuality or
orientation, disabilities/abilities, religion, or age.
This year’s theme is “Finding the Courage to Lead.” The conference aims to explore hidden identities, evolve beyond
the social constructions that drive perception, and find pathways to create meaningful change.
Our hope is that each participant will come away with new ideas, plans, and connections to find courage and lead
within their own communities.

AgendaWelcome to the tenth annual University-wide diversity conference,
“Finding the Courage to Lead.” Our keynote speaker, Samina Ali, is an
award-winning author, activist, and cultural commentator. She will
speak about courage and how we as a community can shape the change
we want to see. The topic is especially relevant to the University now,
as we follow through on our commitment to make our climate and
culture ever better, including strengthening the policies and practices
underlying our interactions with one another. The University’s Vision
and Values Statement continues to anchor our individual and collective
efforts to model our behavior on the ideals of Meliora. As a University
community, we have a wide variety of thoughts and experiences. We
often disagree, but some of the best ideas are born out of disagreement
paired with thoughtful civil discourse. I expect that today’s discussions
will underscore the importance of that ongoing dialogue, as well as
inspire confidence in the University’s commitment to diversity, equity,
and inclusion as demonstrated by our faculty, students, staff, and
alumni. Today’s sessions will use our tradition of constructive dialogue
as a foundation for strengthening our Culture of Respect.

BREAKOUT SESSION A10:45 a.m.–12:15 a.m.

Samina Ali is an award-winning author, activist and cultural commentator. Her debut novel, Madras on Rainy Days is a book about a young woman’s arranged marriage and political awakening, was partly inspired by Samina’s real-life experience growing up bi-culturally in Hyderabad, India and St. Paul, Minnesota.
At the heart of Samina’s work is her belief in personal narrative as a vital force for achieving women’s individual and political freedom–and in the power of new and traditional media as platforms for social transformation. Weaving her personal story with a passionate appeal for women’s equality and justice, Samina’s current project is an account of her near-death experience delivering her firstborn and an unsparing look at gender bias and the crisis of preventable maternal deaths in one of the most advanced healthcare systems in the world. In this memoir-in-progress, Samina describes how she defied the odds by boldly charting her own path to recovery, from relearning to walk alongside her son’s first steps, to retraining her mind—word by word—to write what would become her debut novel.
(Medallion Program: Level 1 Interpersonal Development)
Book Signing
Samina Ali will be signing books between 12:15-12:45 p.m. in Havens Lounge, Wilson Commons.
