Description:
Students must learn to live and learn among people whose opinions and life experiences diverge from their own to flourish as learners, citizens, and employees in diverse workplaces.
But today’s students matriculate without these skills, having grown up in increasingly homogenous neighborhoods and in a polarized political climate—polarization supercharged by events such as the Charlie Kirk assassination. Colleges and universities need new strategies to prepare students to disagree deeply while fostering a welcoming community.
Join us on November 10 to hear from two college and university leaders about how their campuses have met these challenges with deliberate strategies to uphold inclusion and free expression values and prepare their students for life on campus and after graduation.
If you need any disability-related accommodation to fully participate in this event, please contact University Events at events@augsburg.edu. Please allow for sufficient time to arrange the accommodation.
