What can we do to heal our divided communities and country? How can you make a change for the better at UConn and in your communities? A panel of student, academic, and community experts will engage in these and other questions in preparation for the November presidential election. Additional Events in the Series: Event #1 – Know Your Rights: Activism at the University (https://events.uconn.edu/uconn-hartford/event/82532-know-your-rights-activism-at-the-university-uconn-hart)Event #2 – The Student Vote (https://events.uconn.edu/uconn-hartford/event/82798-the-student-vote-uconn-hartford-deans-series) During community conversations held in the spring, we heard from students, staff, and faculty that there is a need to continue to gather and learn together. In response, we have developed this new series that brings our collective experience and knowledge to bear on issues concerning the histories and roles of the university and society. Centering students and the residents of Hartford, the UConn Hartford Dean's Series on the University and Society is a series of workshops and presentations where the community meets to examine the present and imagine possible futures of the university. In the pilot semester, the Series will coordinate three events focused on activism, the student vote and the 2024 election, and post-election actions. We will collectively determine other workshops and presentations for the spring 2025 semester and beyond.This counts as an Honors Event. See tags below for categories. #UHLevent10864 Administered and funded by the UConn Hartford Dean's Office, the Series is also connected to ongoing community conversations two times per month to allow sustained, critical reflection, refinement, and deeper inclusion. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly for lunch.
