The Annual Cultural Conference increases the cultural competence of its attendees via a series of speaker presentations, panels, and discussion groups involving work with ethnic minorities and other diverse groups in clinical, school, and organizational settings. The conference serves as a bridge linking undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, alumni and local professionals within the community, such as psychologists, social workers, counselors and teachers, and ensures that those of all backgrounds and career levels receive continuing education in diversity.6th Annual GSAPP Cultural Conference
