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
Tuesday, November 7th Memorial Hall 114 – 10am

TOPIC = COMMUNITY

Community, is a basic human need. When we talk about work/life balance at Lawrence, we do so with the understanding that community in the work place is essential for us to thrive and contribute our best work. Bring a story to share of one way that the Lawrence environment supports you and enlarges your community of support. We will also reflect together on where community building fits in your priorities and why–what motivates you to step out of your comfort zone to develop your work community and include others?
