Register

This year's theme, "Together Forward" builds on last year’s theme, “Where do we go from here?”, and recognizes that the path to equity, justice, and belonging is not one we walk alone. It honors the power of collaboration, shared vision, and collective action in shaping the future of our campus communities. With a continued emphasis on voices and leadership, this year’s conference invites us to not only imagine change but to move toward it, together.

Please consider joining us for a day of presentations, roundtable discussions, and engaging keynote presentations around critical topics.

The Bridging the Gap Conference is open to students, faculty, staff, and external partners committed to community and justice. Non-Moravian faculty, staff, and students will be charged $15 for registration per participant.
