Join us: Community Forum on campus climate Sept. 9

September 8, 2015

A message from Provost Rogan Kersh:

Greetings Wake Foresters!  I hope to see many of you at the Community Forum tomorrow evening, intended to continue shaping a shared WFU culture of inclusivity and meaningful intellectual exchange.  The Forum builds on last year’s ‘Deliberative Dialogue’ and related campus-climate conversations and proposals.  After a brief introduction, students, faculty, and staff will gather in small groups to engage around the thematic opportunities and challenges central to the Dialogue, with particular focus on the commitments emerging from last academic year and summer’s collective efforts.  Thematic areas (such as curricular revisions, campus policing, and student engagement) along with many of our initial commitments are summarized at the ‘Community in Progress’ website, found at http://community.wfu.edu/.

I thank so many of you for affirming through your engagement to date the shared effort to make Wake Forest a place that embraces all who call it home.  This Forum represents another such opportunity for collective involvement.  We will gather tomorrow (Sept. 9) at 7 p.m. in Benson University Center 401.  I look forward to the conversation.
