Join other students in a moderated conversation about topics that impact our lives and the communities around us. Through each conversation, we will all have the chance to deepen our understanding of the topic at hand and to gain fresh perspectives from the other participants. The conversation will provide an opportunity for each of us to consider how to apply any new understanding we have gained. We trust each gathering will help to build a sense of community between participants from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines.
