About Dialogue@TU 

TU is committed to ensuring all voices are heard, and that all individuals are respected. On our path toward a more inclusive and supportive environment, the Office of the Provost along with OIIE staff are pleased to offer certification in three TU Dialogue Workshops: TU Dialogue Theory Training, TU Dialogue Practice Facilitation, and TU Dialogue Observation and Certification.

Join Assistant Director of Diversity Training and Educational Initiatives (OIIE), Brian Jara, for these sessions, which will provide:

• greater understanding of how different dialogue approaches (including sustained and intergroup) can foster awareness and interaction between members of two or more different groups;
• strategies for managing challenging conversations including race, social identity, and other divisive topics;
• tools to facilitate dialogues with students in college courses or with colleagues sharing office;
• and tools for facilitating in both in-person and virtual environments.

Contact Dialogue@towson.edu with any questions or accommodation requests.

* * * Please register if you were trained prior to January 2019. Please share with others who may be interested in becoming a certified Dialogue@TU facilitator. * * *
