The facilitators set realistic expectations and a clear roadmap to pursue institutional goals. We are really excited about our direction and appreciate this time to dive into things as a team and with others who are similarly invested. The stakes are high, and we have a responsibility to tackle this work aggressively.

Ultimately, after considering multiple options, we selected CDI’s Perspectives because people felt the curriculum not only provided education that supports freedom of expression and inquiry, but also--hands down--our students repeatedly said, ‘We want to learn how we can more effectively talk to each other--across differences in perspective, ideas, and cultures.' They really saw that CDI would help do that. We see the Perspectives course as a powerful tool in our efforts to promote intellectual, social and spiritual wellness.

The experience was invigorating… it felt like I was personally and professionally having a developmental moment that I can share with others.

You crafted an excellently designed training. Every piece of content was meaningful, and every activity felt helpful for learning, interesting, and engaging. Also, the way we connected with each other was very meaningful.

Even though master's students can be quite critical of course materials, they consistently rate Perspectives as one of their favorite parts of the class. What's particularly powerful is how students continue applying these skills long after the course ends... I would tell any instructor considering using Perspectives to do it without hesitation - it's an engaging, substantive way to build students' capacity for constructive dialogue across differences.

Perspectives is an invaluable tool that's both time-efficient and impactful. Students retain and apply these skills long after the course ends... It's an easy addition to any curriculum that pays significant dividends in improving classroom discussion and preparing students for real-world conversations.
