Workshops
Each year the Student Conference on Latino Affairs (SCOLA) provides delegates across the nation the opportunity to explore trending topics present in the Latino community via workshops. SCOLA is committed to present delegates a forum to participate in engaging dialogues and to participate in dynamic activities.
The theme for SCOLA 2017 is ¡Con Ganas!: Building a Legacy. It is our hope that through dynamic and innovative workshops, participants are challenged to persevere and achieve excellence in every area of their individual lives.

Workshop presenters play an integral role in helping SCOLA continue its legacy of educating and motivating leaders who will continuously transcend limits on their campuses and in their communities. We encourage you to speak at our conference to share your knowledge and experience with our delegates. There is nothing more powerful than when our community comes together to share ideas, stories, and knowledge.
Different Workshop Layouts:
Symposium: Symposia are panel discussions presenting different perspectives on a topic or question. Panels should include a minimum of three panelists and a moderator. A/V equipment is provided.
