Why Evolving Experiences?

Goals:

• To increase the level of cultural understanding through the sharing of personal experience
• To assist in the development of cross cultural communication skills
• To assist in the development of new relationship
Why should I participate in Evolving Experiences?
IT IS MORE THAN A CONVERSATION…IT IS
- Focused. Participants explore the group members' life and campus experiences in relation to the identity associated with their group. The groups cover topics that generally impact members on a daily basis in some way and allow them to meet fellow students they probably would never meet otherwise
- Facilitated. Each group is led by 2-3 facilitators (1-2 faculty or staff members and 1-2 peer educators) who provide structure and direction for the conversation to ensure the experience is engaging and safe for everyone.
- Fair & Balanced. The groups are facilitated in a manner that promotes a safe environment for individuals with varying perspectives. A conversation does not broaden thinking unless differing view points are expressed and heard respectively.
What does it cost me?
- Time. This dialogue opportunity requires a high level of commitment from participants for approximately 5 weeks…The cost to participate is a commitment to:
