Civic Dialogue Dinners

The Civic Dialogue Dinner Series offers an opportunity for ºÚÁÏÂÛ̳ students to enjoy a dinner while discussing the complex causes of public problems, what we should do to address them, and how we might promote the common good. Students do not need any previous experience or expertise – just a desire to listen and learn from one another as we engage the world with purpose.
