Dialogue Circles are structured, inclusive, and restorative spaces that support well-being, deepen peer relationships, and promote reflective learning. They are designed to create space for ALL VOICES, to encourage deep listening, and support communal problem-solving among students, staff, and faculty. This semester, we will have the following dialogue topics:
