\nSubject:<\/strong>\u00a0 Race & National Historic
\nLegacy Conversations at Monmouth University<\/p>\n

The initial listening sessions on Wednesday, December 9, were a productive first step in our ongoing dialogue on race-related issues at Monmouth University.\u00a0 As I have previously noted, these first two sessions are only the beginning of a continuing and evolving process that will engage our entire community.<\/p>\n

I am deeply appreciative for the time, attention, and candid feedback from students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Our time together was informative, enlightening, and conducted entirely in the spirit of courtesy and mutual respect that are the hallmarks of our community.<\/p>\n

Our next listening sessions are scheduled for:<\/strong>
\nThursday, January 21:\u00a0 9:30 a.m. \u2013 11:00 a.m. Magill Commons Club Dining Room<\/strong>
\nThursday, January 21:\u00a0 11:30 a.m. \u2013 1:00 p.m. Magill Commons Club Dining Room<\/strong>
\nMonday, February 8: \u00a09:30 a.m. \u2013 11:00 a.m. Magill Commons Room 107<\/strong>
\nMonday, February 8: \u00a012:00 p.m. \u2013 1:30 p.m. Bey Hall Room 201 Turrell Board Room <\/strong>
\nMonday, February 8: \u00a03:00 p.m. \u2013 4:30\u00a0p.m.\u00a0 Magill Commons Club Dining Room<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our high-level roadmap for the process will include comprehensive mechanisms for anonymous and on-the-record feedback, through email and other digital options, on-campus drop boxes, and private discussions. Administrative support for this initiative is also a priority, and will involve existing groups and committees, and\u00a0additional ad-hoc committees as needed.<\/p>\n

Listening and dialogue are still the most important first steps in this process as we identify broad themes and, ultimately, action items to ensure we reach our potential as a leading University that is a welcoming and supportive community for all of its members. This initiative, and these conversations, will continue to be a priority for me and my senior staff.<\/p>\n

I appreciate the productive response to our first steps in this important process and look forward our continuing conversations.<\/p>\n
