Welcome to the Unity College Student Conference
The Student Conference is an opportunity to celebrate excellence in academic work created by Unity College students. At the end of each semester, students gather at the Unity College Centre for Performing Arts to display their best work and compete for a variety of awards; works are judged by college faculty, staff, and community partners.
