The "It's Just Coffee" event series at UNLV creates safe(r) spaces for students to engage in open, compassionate dialogue over coffee. Within these dialogue sessions, participants use topic guides to explore controversial issues like freedom of speech on campus, practicing verbal and listening skills without needing to be experts. This initiative demonstrates how informal, low-stakes interactions can bridge gaps between diverse campus communities, fostering unity, empathy, and understanding—while promoting mental health and equity. This session will share best practices for launching similar programs, highlighting the role of dialogue in advancing well-being, community ties, and social change.
