American Minority Student Leadership Conference (1st-3rd : 1984-1986)

The first annual American Minority Leadership Conference was held at the University of Wisconsin--Stout. University of Wisconsin System minority students and minority alumni led the organization and planning of the event. During the first conference, twelve students presented papers, and six alumni provided comment on the papers. The second and third conferences were held at the University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire and at the University of Wisconsin--La Crosse in 1985 and 1986 respectively. The papers provide insight into the perspective of racial and ethnic minority students attending college at predominantly white universities.
