Creating Dialogue
Regardless of the outcome of the Presidential Election in November 2024, contentious, passionate dialogue will be present before, during, and after November, we need to be proactive in our efforts to prepare campus to have these conversations. This site will provide resources via a tool kit to create this dialogue alongside planned programming.
This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels.
