Dialogue Events
Through structured conversations, our Democracy and Dialogues Program creates space for students to have conversations about things that matter - especially leaning into the "Things We Don’t Talk About at Dinner" - religion, race and politics - so that students learn how to constructively discuss challenging topics with people who are different from them and who may disagree with them.
Fall 2024 Events (coming soon)
