PART 1: U-M’s annual Women of Color Task Force (WCTF) conference brought together more than 400 participants across Ann Arbor, Flint, and Dearborn in March 2026 to explore leadership, wellness, and professional growth. Centered on the theme “Taking Care of Your Business in Turbulent Times,” the event featured a fireside chat with leaders including Kourtney Gibson (TIAA), Sonya Jacobs, and Tiarra Braddock.
With ten workshops spanning mentorship, financial planning, and career navigation, the conference reinforced WCTF’s 44-year legacy of advancing access, opportunity, and lifelong learning across the university community.
