To be a leader in fostering inclusive and constructive dialogue, we must ensure that every student, faculty, and staff member can participate meaningfully in discussions on politics, race, faith, and campus culture. The word dialogue, etymologically, refers not to debate (di meaning two), but rather to a journey (dia) carried out in words. College should be such a journey, and for it to work, we all need to speak up along the way. This takes active practice.
Toward that end, informed by a Gallup Survey, we have embarked on a campus-wide initiative that will provide intentional and institution-wide training in dialogue and conflict resolution, weave civility and respectful exchange into the fabric of the Pomona culture and position our graduates as critical thinkers and societal changemakers ready to make a difference in the world.
Upcoming Events
The College hosts dialogue events throughout the academic year. See previous speakers from the Author Talks Dialogue Series.
