+In an effort to recognize barriers created by systems of oppression we invite those with less financial means to opt into paying a discounted rate between $50-75. In support of this effort, we also invite those with more economic privilege to consider adding $20-$30 to the base price of attendance.
When considering whether you might be able to pay more or less than the standard rate, please consider the difference between a financial sacrifice (i.e., difficult but not detrimental) versus a financial hardship (i.e., difficult to fulfill basic needs).
