Six Ways to Engage Your Students in the Day of Discovery, Dialogue & Action 2019

1) Encourage your students to attend events designed for them:

Dine & Dialogue with Engaged Citizens & Community Leaders
Monday Feb. 18 6:00-8:30pm

Discover & Dialogue The Color of Medicine Screening & Panel
Wednesday Feb. 20 6:00-8:30pm

2) Invite your students to participate in community-wide events:

3) Bring your class to any session that aligns with your course goals!
Just RSVP for your class! https://voices.wustl.edu/day-of-discovery-2019-registration/

4) Offer your students opportunities to engage with the theme:
Dialogues Across Difference through assignments.

Encourage students to have a conversation with someone who holds a different perspective on a topic related to the course, and produce a short reflection from the experience.
Ask students to attend a session or experience of their choosing throughout the event (or participate in activism or a service-oriented event on another day), and reflect on the topic as it relates to your course.
Ask students to report an action they plan to take to “Make Change Happen” in the next month or year.

5) Plan a class day that engages your course topic with the theme:
Dialogues Across Difference

Incorporate a group discussion activity into your course where students share in conversations like those in the “WU in Focus” panel or other panels from the Day of Discovery, Dialogue, & Action.

6) Share the livestream or recordings in your lab, office, or classroom.

If you and your students are unable to attend in person, engage your lab, office, or classroom using the livestream or recordings of the day. Visit https://voices.wustl.edu/discovery-dialogue-2019/ for more information.
