Community Conversations

All members of the campus community are encouraged to participate in Dignity and Respect in Action: Community Conversations, a series of workshops for students, faculty, and staff to build skills to overcome division and combat polarization while talking about real issues affecting our campus and society at large. Next Conversation: Wednesday, December 4, 11:15-1:15pm.
