Connection, Not Controversy: What Students Want You to Know About Dialogue on Campus this Fall
For: Higher EdWebinarsA webinar recording exploring how students really feel about campus dialogue—and how institutions can adjust their approaches to better serve their needs.
Here's what might surprise you: the assumptions many educators hold about student dialogue preferences are often completely wrong. After working with hundreds of students in intensive workshops and virtual programs over the past year, we've uncovered insights that challenge conventional thinking about how and when students want to develop their dialogue skills.
At the Constructive Dialogue Institute (CDI), we've gathered insights from students nationwide alongside senior university administrators. In this webinar, we'll reveal three counterintuitive findings about how students really feel about campus dialogue—and how your institution can adjust its approach to better serve their actual needs.
You'll learn practical strategies for:
- Curricular contexts: How to create classroom environments that diffuse tensions and amplify quiet voices
- Student programming: High-impact pathways for building dialogue skills within your student community
- Student leadership: How to equip student leaders to positively shape campus dialogue culture
Moderated by: Liz Le Grange, VP of Growth, CDI
Featuring:
- Jake Fay, Director of Education—specialist in curriculum integration and faculty development
- Jackie Li, Director of Program Implementation—expert in student leadership and peer-to-peer learning
