Campus Compact hosted a webinar to introduce their recently released resource, “Better Discourse: A Guide for Bridging Campus Divides in Challenging Times.” Developed over the summer by a team of nationally recognized dialogue and discourse experts, this guide helps campus communities prepare for the academic year ahead. The team gathered information through a national field survey, conducted focus groups with faculty and staff from institutions across the country, and interviewed key individuals at national bridge-building service providers to assess what colleges and universities need most to meet the challenges of the 2024-2025 academic year.
The webinar featured a presentation from project team members about the resource, as well as breakout sessions for campus members to reflect on their preparations and immediate needs for the fall.
This event was part of Campus Compact’s Scaling Discourse in Higher Education Project, made possible by the generous support of the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
