  one or more day of school for fear of victimization or bullying. The 
 situation is worse for students in rural Long Island, with absence rat
 es as high as 36%. The sad but true facts go on and on: eight out of t
 en students face harassment (higher for students of color and those wh
 o are transgender or living in rural areas). Students who face victimi
 zation are also less likely to aspire to attend college.\nThis  confe
 rence involves a series of hand-on presentations and workshops focused

 acy and leadership skills so participants can better understand themse
 lves, advocate for equality, and enhance their schools and communities
