Description

A brave group of students, staff, and faculty embarked on a journey of introspection, cross-cultural engagement, and dialogue with the goal of developing strategies to foster positive change on our campus and in our community. Participants engaged weekly in the mini-course UDI 380 “Understanding, Respecting, and Connecting: Examining Privilege and Taking Action” which is one of the few spaces on campus where students, staff, and faculty learn together as peers and collaborators. Together, they attended a diversity conference in Tulsa, OK where the focus was to examine the challenging concepts of privilege and oppression and to develop strategies to create a more equitable world. Come hear the participants reflect on their experiential learning and discuss the skills and knowledge they gained to enhance the campus climate for inclusivity and diversity at the University of Dayton. Please join us for a lively discussion!
