Who are they: Sustained Dialogue is a unique initiative that brings together students, faculty and staff who would not usually cross paths to talk about issues they might shy away from. It creates the right setting for open exchanges. The ongoing conversations help to deepen our understanding over time, making them truly “sustained.” The Sustained Dialogue Campus Network is the campus-focused branch of our work, where we train thousands of students, faculty, and staff each year to create dialogue-to-action initiatives.
For Whom: Faculty, Students, and Staff can all participate in Sustained Dialogue opportunities.
