2026 Spring Pilot Program

Join our Student Leadership Consultants at the Center for Leadership and Intercultural Engagement this spring for "Conversations Across Difference," a new initiative designed to foster open dialogue on pressing societal issues. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate in a small group discussion, engaging in organic conversations that challenge perspectives and promote understanding. Diverse viewpoints and ideas are encouraged as we explore various societal topics together. This program is designed to support and strengthen our existing work with the Braver Campus Series at George Mason and help our campus community select future dialogue and debate topics. We strive to create a space for respectful and insightful conversations, contributing to a more inclusive and understanding campus environment.
