Workshop: Navigating Difficult Conversations

Learn the Art of Turning Disagreements into Dialogue
Sep 22, 2025 to Oct 3, 2025 — 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Disagreements are a natural part of life, especially in a diverse university environment where you’ll meet people with a wide range of perspectives and experiences. The key isn’t avoiding conflict, but learning how to engage in it respectfully and constructively.

Details

Open to all students.

This workshop will introduce you to practical strategies for navigating difficult conversations. Through interactive activities and real-life examples, you’ll develop skills to communicate your point of view, listen actively, and find common ground—even when you don’t see eye to eye.

No matter where you are in life, mastering the art of civil disagreement will help you become a more effective collaborator, a sharper critical thinker, and a more empathetic member of your community.
