Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg Hosts High School Diversity Conference

Bloomsburg, PA (11/13/2026) — Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg hosted the 24th Annual High School Diversity conference on Thursday, Nov. 12, in the Kehr Union.

The event brought 80 high school students from the region to the Bloomsburg campus for a day of presentations and workshops focused on diversity. Students came from five school districts, Benton, Bloomsburg, Danville, Central Columbia, and Wilkes-Barre. This year's theme was C.A.R.E: Connect, Appreciate, Reflect, and Empathize. Workshops featured Bloomsburg students, faculty, and staff, offering attendees multiple opportunities to hear about the experiences of others, to participate in conversations, and to explore their own stories through creative writing.

To kick off the event, students participating in the dance program at Bloomsburg performed their piece "Where Love Stays," followed by a WVIA presentation of clips from Making NEPA Home, a documentary.

This event is supported by the Susquehanna Community Foundation, the Bloomsburg Community Government Association (CGA), and various CU offices, including Admissions, DEIB, and the Office of the President.
