Post-Election Community Reflection, Dialogue, and Debrief
Join us for a community-wide opportunity reflect, dialogue, and debrief on the 2024 election. How can we prepare ourselves as individuals and as an institution to play the right roles, to respond quickly to unfolding events, and to buttress our connections and partnerships? As a community, it’s important to give ourselves time and space to heal, to process, and to have intentional spaces for dialogue and verbal expression. This election impacts us all differently, and whether that is individually, in one-on-ones, in small groups, or in collective spaces, we want to hold space to have difficult, sensitive, and necessary conversations.
Location: Lone Mountain Main, Room 100 (Handlery Room)
Sponsored by the Leo T. McCarthy Center, the Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice, University Ministry, School of Law, Department of Politics, and Office of Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
