This year, we have embarked on training faculty to facilitate critical conversations, a model developed by Professors Hye-Kyung Kang and Peggy O'Neill in 2015. Our larger goal is to build the capacity of faculty, staff and students to facilitate critical conversations. This is a multi-year project. Initially, for this year, we are training and supporting faculty to engage the Critical Conversation Model. We will engage student leaders and the broader student community over 2016-2017.
