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.

Stand United. Fight Hate.

Hateful acts aim to intimidate and hinder our goals of inclusive community. We reject hatred and launched the Hate Has No Home at UMass campaign in August 2017 to make clear our aspirations to be a community that collectively rejects hate.
