Going beyond tradition

The Dinner Dialogue is gathering towards our collective future, inviting students, faculty, and staff to come together as active architects of our community's future. 


Here, we embody a space where dialogue isn't just talk—it's transformative action. Through shared stories that highlight the rich tapestry of our community, this ritual explores what it means to have agency in our community, and discover the joy that fuels our collective story.

This ritual creates a space for us to dive deeper into themes crucial to our community's growth and resilience. From exploring moments of personal empowerment to embracing wonder as a pathway to empathy, and celebrating the sparks of joy that define our campus spirit, these conversations ignite passion and purpose in everyone who participates.

Rooted in our commitment to Inclusive Excellence, this ritual aims to break barriers, deepen understanding, and build bridges to spark courageous conversations that challenge assumptions and inspire new perspectives.
