Owl Talk dialogues are facilitated by Diversity Peers and happen once a month during the academic school year. Each conversation has a different topic to address historical and/or current hot topics. These dialogues are designed for students to have meaningful conversations about issues pertaining to diversity and social justice.
These dialogues provide faculty, administrators, social service professionals, community leaders and activists an opportunity to participate in intergroup dialogues with professionals from the Mid-Atlantic region on subjects like race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and class.
The Diversity Facilitator Institute is a series of workshops designed to train students, staff and faculty to lead discussions centered around diversity and inclusion. Trained facilitators go on to lead sessions that count as part of the Diversity Institute or Safe Zone curriculum.
