What is QSOCC?

QSOCC is the Queer Students of Color Conference. We created and began hosting QSOCC in 2011 as a free and low cost multi day conference that centers the work and experiences of Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, and Students of Color. Workshops, keynotes speakers, caucus spaces, community meals, and more, make this event special, and the students and community attendees make it great. Find out information about past conferences, the upcoming QSOCC, and how to get involved below.
