The Department of Educational Leadership at Minnesota State University, Mankato prepares transformational leaders dedicated to dismantling barriers and accelerating the success of students of color. Our annual conference, “Leading Courageously for Racial Equity” (LCRE), is designed to advance educational equity with sessions that inspire and empower by sharing evidence-based practices and engaging in courageous conversations about race and equity.

Each year, exemplary leaders share their insights, experiences, and strategies to elevate education for all students. The LCRE conference brings together educational leaders, teachers, and graduate students from several districts across the state and beyond, representing urban, suburban, and rural communities.
