What really shapes the way we see the world—and how we engage with others across differences? Join us for an interactive and thought-provoking workshop led by Sara Mehltretter, Scholar in Residence for Public Discourse Strategy at Campus Compact and Professor of Rhetoric at Wabash College. In this session, Fellows will participate in a hands-on values ranking activity designed to help unpack how our personal values influence our perspectives, decisions, and approaches to civic engagement. Together, we’ll explore how to listen for the deeper values and needs that shape people’s viewpoints, navigate differing interpretations of shared values, and build stronger, more empathetic communication across differences. This session is designed to be engaging, reflective, and practical—offering tools you can immediately apply in your leadership, conversations, and community work. If you’re interested in strengthening your ability to connect across perspectives and lead with intention, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
