Mission Statement
Our mission is to inspire campus community members to engage with self and others authentically, by cultivating skills in critical self-reflection, cultural storytelling, generous listening, and loving accountability to foster bridges across difference.
We do this through:
- Student curricular and co-curricular engagement
- Faculty and staff engagement and development
- Community Outreach and Campus-Wide Dialogues
Values
- We value shared humanity and dignity. Healing and change happens in community.
- We value a diversity of perspectives, lived experiences and ways of being/knowing; dialogue invites participation that meets people where they are.
- We value the power of stories. Stories empower people to share their voices, have the capacity to change hearts, and can lead to material social changes in our society.
- We value a growth mindset. Everyone has the capacity to contribute to a more loving and just world.
- We value rest, imagining, and action. Dialogue and radical imagination inspire actions that disrupt oppressive systems and build bridges across communities.
