Power Over Prejudice Summit

Georgia Tech's Office of Diversity Programs assists with the logistics of the Power Over Prejudice conference held at Georgia Tech each year. The Junior League of Atlanta founded the Atlanta Prejudice Awareness Summit (now Power Over Prejudice Summit) with the Atlanta chapter of Jewish Women International in 1997. At POP, middle-school students from about 50 area schools are immersed in a day of activities designed to broaden their awareness of, and make them want to take action against, prejudice. The day includes a powerful key note speaker, small break out groups among students from different schools, meaningful role-play designed to address fears and concerns about prejudice and bullying as well as a final session with their own schoolmates and guidance counselors.
