The Listen. Learn. Discuss. Dialogue Circles bring together students and university leaders to discuss timely topics of importance and to learn from one another. The circles are designed to create safe and supportive environments where we can continue to build the trust needed to learn from the unique spirit and perspective each member of the university community represents. Our first discussion will take place Monday, September 30, 2024 from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. in the Center of Belonging and Social Change Alonso Family Room.
