About the Conversation
In preparation for the 2020 elections and beyond, how do we maintain our campus climate where everyone feels welcome and still be able to express and hear dissenting viewpoints? How do we address polarization, hyper partisanship, animosity, divisiveness, and discriminatory rhetoric in and outside our community? We’ll discuss and share what has changed and what has remained the same in our political environment; the pros and cons of our always-on social media environment; and how to foster public and private lives of leadership, service, integrity, and creativity.
