Community Conversation on Political Common Ground Part 3

Thursday, May 11, 1–4 p.m.
Esch Hurvis Studio, Warch Campus Center

Facilitators:
Kimberly Barrett, vice president for diversity & inclusion
and associate dean of the faculty
Jenna Stone, executive director of budget and planning

Community Conversations at Lawrence University are a series of structured dialogues that facilitate authentic communication across some critical area of perceived difference. The purpose is to practice civil deliberation while promoting greater intergroup understanding and trust. We want to help participants begin to move beyond political orthodoxies in order to see ourselves as diverse, but related, travelers on life’s journey together with shared concerns and values. It will also serve as a basis for developing collaborative strategies to increase the well-being, civility and participation of people across the political spectrum in all aspects of life on our campus.

Please RSVP to michelle.l.lasecki-jahnke@lawrence.edu by Monday, May 8.

Cultural Competency Lecture Series – Activism and Social Change

Guilberly Louissaint ’17 and Max Loebl ’17 will present on activism & social change on May 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Warch Campus Center’s Esch Hurvis Room.

Student activism has become interwoven with our campus culture. It has taken different forms, such as protesting, workshops or even the creation of healing circles. It is imperative more than ever to be more strategic with student organizing. Communication and solid leadership are key components in creating successful outcomes during times of turmoil.  Guil & Max will explore effective forms of activism, through student engagement, goal setting, impact analysis and personal experience.

The Cultural Competency Lecture Series at Lawrence features our faculty, students and staff sharing their expertise related to the knowledge and skills necessary to take a culturally competent, equity-minded approach to the work and learning in which they are engaged. Bring your lunch and learn!

Please join us by RSVPing to michelle.l.lasecki-jahnke@lawrence.edu by May 24.
