Please join the PDC and DEI committees for the kickoff to the Coffee and Conversation Collaboration Identity Consciousness Series. Rhonda Fitzgerald, Executive Director of Sustained Dialogue, will lead us through a dialogue about raising our consciousness about Socioeconomic Status and Race as it relates to our own identities and the identities of those we work with. We will examine our own understanding of socioeconomic status and race, and analyze our current organizations efforts as it relates to these topics.

As the Managing Director for the Sustained Dialogue Campus Network (SDCN), Rhonda Fitzgerald works to train, mentor, and provide guidance to a broad range of institutions and individuals seeking to transform their communities through Sustained Dialogue. Rhonda has been with SDI for 10 years, working with students, faculty, senior administrators, campus leaders, and facilitators to build lasting structures for inclusion on campuses. As an engaging public speaker and facilitator, Rhonda has a passion for developing college-aged leaders with civic competency and cultural humility. Due to her in-demand skills and experiences, she has made an impact at several places around the globe, including Ethiopia where she supports the work of the Addis Ababa University Peace Club, who have led a Sustained Dialogue effort since 2008. She also brings experience from the Proinspire Management Fellows cohort, a program preparing non-profit leaders to build the sector. Rhonda is an alumna of Princeton University, where she participated actively as a moderator and leader of Sustained Dialogue.
