Dialogue Initiatives
We invite you to come share your perspective and learn about hot topics of today! Dialogue Initiatives provides exposure to the experiences and perspectives of people on both sides of an issue through careful education and interactive deliberation. Each of our dialogues will attempt to educate on topical issues that affect our society. In the past we have tackled issues such as consent laws, child poverty, transgender identities, sexual assault on campus, homelessness, and psychological health.
