Dean's Dialogue Series
The Dean's Dialogue series offers an opportunity to come together to reflect on our values as a CFANS community and renew our commitment to actively create a diverse and inclusive environment. These dialogues provide members of the collegiate community with the opportunity to engage with the deans and other colleagues in learning and conversation about how to make the CFANS and St. Paul communities more responsive and welcoming of various groups. The diversity dialogue is an open exchange, an effort to understand each other’s ideas around diversity and inclusion. The goal of this dialogue is not to necessarily make a decision or reach consensus. Rather, it is to encourage everyone to learn about diversity in CFANS and at the University of Minnesota, explore new issues and build a deeper awareness of the topics in a safe environment. All are welcome.
