Bridging the Ideological Divide – Last 2 Sessions!
Nurtured in the concept of conflict resolution is the idea that effective dialogue is our first measure of understanding. There are just a few more opportunities for students, staff and faculty to attend the on campus facilitated dialogues that will help us to identify through each other’s stories some useful approaches to that communication as a first step in bridging an ideological divide.
Saturday, November 4th in Mead Witter – 12pm
