For: Higher EdWebinarsA webinar recording offering higher education leaders concrete strategies to transform their campus culture.
Over the past several years, universities have faced heightened scrutiny across the ideological spectrum for their handling of speech, inclusion, and intellectual exchange.

In this webinar university leaders shared practical approaches for building a culture of dialogue on campus, drawing from the Constructive Dialogue Institute's comprehensive campus culture report. Viewers will leave with concrete strategies for fostering environments where community members feel secure engaging in dialogue while ensuring strong protections for the free and respectful exchange of different perspectives.

- Caroline Mehl, Executive Director, Constructive Dialogue Institute
