CWRU Sustained Dialogue - Day of Dialogue

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this dialogue has been postponed to later in the semester. We hope registrants will consider attending a different day of dialogue program and join us for future Creating a Welcoming Campus discussions.

Both international and non-international members of the community are welcome to discuss their visions of a truly integrated and inclusive campus.
