Theme: Existing Together

This event is more than just a series of talks; it’s a celebration of our collective identity and a call to elevate our aspirations.

Throughout the day, you can attend four fascinating presentations that weave together a story of interconnectedness, reflecting our connections within the ISD community. Each talk builds on the previous one, creating a connected and thought-provoking journey.

So, why this theme? In our community, we often see individuals setting modest expectations, which can shape their actions and achievements. This event aims to challenge that norm, inspiring students to raise their self-expectations and, in turn, elevate their actions to meet the higher standards we aspire to as a community.
