We successfully held our first two Cultural Dialogues this week and last week!
The topics we covered were: "How has priviledge affected you," and "The School of Social Work is working towards achieving greater cultural competency. What would look different if we were to achieve our goal?"
Thanks to Tracy Shroepfer for all her hard work organizing these events.
We are looking forward to hearing the student, faculty, and staff feedback on the dialogues.

To continue these discussions or post a new topic for dialogue, please visit the SHADE Message Board.
