At a time when disagreement can so easily divide, how can we model belonging that bridges difference? Join us for the next Belong Cornerstone Webinar, “Upholding Belonging and Free Expression: Empowering Students in a Polarized Time,” on Monday, Nov.10, from 1-2 p.m.
Thanks to our campus’s participation in the CIC Belong community, this session is free for all faculty and staff.
Webinar description: Students must learn to live and learn among people whose opinions and life experiences diverge from their own to flourish as learners, citizens, and employees in diverse workplaces. As students matriculate without these skills--having grown up in increasingly homogeneous neighborhoods and in a polarized political climate--classrooms, campuses and communities need new strategies to prepare students to disagree deeply while fostering a welcoming community.
Hear from college and university leaders about how their campuses have met these challenges with deliberate strategies to uphold inclusion and free expression values that prepare their students for campus life and beyond.
Featuring:
- Ioannis Evrigenis, Claremont McKenna College
- Donald Outing, Lehigh University
Moderated by: Jacqueline Pfeffer Merrill, Council of Independent Colleges
