Reminder: On Thursday, October 26th, the first of four continuing conversations for creating community will be held at the Memorial Union from 2 to 4:30 p.m.

The goal is to bring together students, faculty and staff throughout the academic year, to share ideas and build relationships toward our shared vision of a respectful and inclusive campus environment. You are invited to attend a session within one of two interest circles, from 2:00 – 4:00 pm.
