Partnership Projects with Other Educators
Our staff is involved in partnership projects with other educators at various
institutions. A shared vision and a strong organization are the launching points
for successful educational efforts.
Current Projects

The conference is set for February 20, 2010 at Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA) and seeks to bring together researchers in the community with activists. They are calling for a myriad of proposals dealing with Sikh-related issues by Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike. The deadline for submission of abstracts has been extended to November 30, 2009.
