Join the dialogue on Chick-fil-A

Please join the Committee for Dialogue on Chick-fil-A for a second campus-wide event to discuss the presence of Chick-fil-A on our campus and its implications for creating an inclusive community. The event will take place on Monday, Feb. 18, from 5-6:30 p.m. in the Magnolia Room of Reynolda Hall.

Provost Rogan Kersh will host this event, and he will provide an overview of the various arguments that have been heard to date regarding the Chick-fil-A controversy. Speakers representing both the LGBTQ community and the Christian community will lead us in discussion, and model what it means to sit at a table together and share our views as human beings, engaged in real, respectful, civil dialogue.

All members of the campus community are invited to participate.
