Description

This session aims to highlight key practices and insights from ePluribus Stanford, a university-wide initiative uplifting critical inquiry and constructive dialogue through a range of curricular, co-curricular, and residential efforts. Now in its second year, several programs have been co-created and piloted, many of which are being integrated into existing units across campus: pre-frosh and residential tranings, student fellowships, practicums, campus community grants, a personal narrative-based bridgebuilders forum, and student award. ePluribus serves as the connective tissue across these new and existing programs. What are we learning? We’ll offer select insights with an emphasis on the core curricular elements that serve as a foundation for the efficacy and sustainability of the initiative, COLLEGE and the Stanford Civics Initiative.
