About this event
The Longest Table, a civic dialogue event that features (you guessed it!) a long table and guided discussion, brings together people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and interests to share a meal and build relationships that help us work toward a shared vision for the future.
In this webinar, learn more about how this model was implemented at Washington University in St. Louis, with over 200 students, faculty, and staff coming together to kick off the Gephardt Institute’s weekly civic dialogue and learning events and find connection amid a divisive election season to discuss questions related to the following themes:
- Connecting and Sharing Perspectives
- Exploring National Politics, Elections and the Issues at Stake
- Fostering a Healthy & Inclusive Campus Culture
Join us to hear more about the impact of the program at WashU and how you can leverage this model to contribute to a climate of civil dialogue on your campus.
Who should attend?
This event is free and open to members and non-members. Community-engaged faculty, staff, community engagement professionals, and equity and diversity officers at higher education institutions are encouraged to attend.
