Diversity Dialogue Series
To engage in civil discourse:
- Be ready to listen for understanding.
- Think about ways to solve problems together.
- Be accountable for what you say and do.
- Be open and think critically about what you hear.
- Acknowledge communities strengths.
- Find ways to create positive change.
Participate in the Diversity Dialogue Series. You will heighten your awareness, become comfortable with intersectional dialogue and apply what you learn through social justice. “What is learned here, leaves here."
Mission
- Reflect our institution's unique culture and current issues facing the campus by recognizing intersectional divides and how they came to exist.
- Encourage discourse around differences and lend a hand to reinventing our campus climate by working to combat how unilateral discourse silos separates voices.
- Promote unity, awareness, engagement and action as core concepts for open and civil dialogue around complex topics.
These events are free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the NIU parking garage. These events are also Business Passport Approved and Honors Engaged.
