It’s that time again!

Confronting Discrimination is back!

This year we will be exploring some topics more in depth; and many of those topics will be controversial. We will begin our journey by talking about communication-specifically as it relates to conveying sensitive information.

Right now the news is showing us the polarizing nature of topics like sexual assault. So how do we talk about it? How can we make progress?

Join us for our conversation!
