Dear <<First Name>>,
Yesterday was the deadline for our students to submit their full proposals for the 26th Annual New Start Academic Conference, and after reading some of them I am more excited than ever. But we need your help! We're only 31% to our goal of raising $9,000 to support scholarships recognizing the best academic work at the conference. And I think it's going to be a tough competition! Just check out some of the titles of the sessions they will present:
- What's Getting Between You and Your Education: The Societal, Physical, and Mental Barriers to Academia
- Exploring the Mental and Physical Boundaries of Athletes
- International Borders in Education
- Music: Transcending Cultures, Boundaries, and Limits
- Beyond Frybread
- Prison Reform: Breaking the Cycle and Redefining the Boundaries
- The (In)Visible Woman
- Gentrification and the Loss of Cultural Identity
- Untaming the Mane: Redefining the Limits Placed on African-American Hair
- Borders and Boundaries: Separation of Families Caused by Regional Borders and Wages
And that's just 10 of the 127 sessions that will happen at the conference!
Will you make a gift today? Every gift - no matter how large or small - gets us closer to the goal. Click or tap here to be a part of New Start's crowdfunding and be sure to share on social media!
Plus, save the date - you'll be able to see some of the sessions streamed on Facebook Live July 11-12!
With gratitude,
Tom Murray, Director
