SCHEDULE CHANGE! We are in the process of rescheduling the workshop Cultural Competency for Fight Directors. We believe this is the best way for students and faculty to get the most value out of the workshop. Registration is temporarily closed.

Our goal is to work out a new date and time in September. With that in mind, stay tuned! We'll reopen registration for both the live and virtual options once we have the new date locked down.

And keep your 👀 peeled for summer programming!
