Under the leadership of Kripa Sreepada and Adriana Black, the Diversity Leadership Cabinet has formed a dialogue series that will take place in the Cross Cultural Center (located in the BSC) each night at 7 PM, from November 28th to December 8th.

This series comes from the belief that there is no issue too large that cannot be addressed when people gather and discuss in a safe and honest environment. Please try to attend as many dialogues as possible!

Here’s the schedule for the upcoming dialogues:

November 28 – “Oppression Across Cultures,” presented by SLU Solidarity With Palestine, SLU Jews, and SLU NAACP.

November 29 – “Immigration Through the Age and Faces,” presented by International Student Federation, Irish-American Student Guild, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, Italian Club, Filipino Student Association, and Asian American Association.

November 30 – “Causes of AIDS in Developing Countries,” presented by Indian Student Association and Keep A Child Alive.

December 1 – “Save the Blue Planet,” presented by Just Earth and OneWorld.

December 5 – “Parenthood as a Student,” presented by Students for Life and UNA.

December 7 – “The Impact of Culture on Coming Out,” presented by Black Student Alliance, Students United for Africa, and Rainbow Alliance.

December 8 – “Interfaith Service in STL,” presented by United Way, Alpha Phi Omega, Muslim Students’ Association, Knights of Columbus, InterFaith Alliance, and Hindu Students Community.
