Community Conversations

During the past few months, events have occurred on our campus that have challenged and saddened all of us. It is important to have a conversation about these events, and continue to work towards positive change.

On Monday February 18th a large "wall" of paper was erected and placed in the lobby of the Hollis Center. This wall provided students, faculty, and staff with a space to anonymously share their thoughts, questions, and concerns were used to start a conversation on issues of particular concern recently: safety, communication, and hate/bias-related incidents. Additionally thoughts, questions, and concerns were raised about issues ranging from Greek Life to diversity on campus. The Wall remained until Friday February 22nd.

During these sessions everything written on the wall will be directly addressed by a panel of faculty, staff and administrators who will be prepared to speak to the community about each relevant issue. At the end of each session there will be a question and answer period where any student, faculty, or staff member can ask additional questions.

The first “Community Conversation” took place in the Hollis Center Rinker Field House on Wednesday February 27th. The audio recording of that session is available below for listening or downloading. All of the proceeding sessions have been posted here also. All new sessions will be advertised on campus and then posted online.

Please continue to use this opportunity to share your voice and be heard. We are all members of the Stetson community and can play an active part in affecting change.
