In 2023, that safe, supportive space will include an in-person forum.

With the end goal of creating lasting change in the community, past virtual Courageous Conversations sessions have identified solutions to address systemic racial and gender injustice, while fostering more inclusive, diverse environments that are guided by shared wisdom and empowerment.
In-depth knowledge sharing and best practices is the beginning of the answer to the question, 鈥淗ow can we affect lasting change?鈥
It takes sustained effort from all corners of society to acknowledge historical and ongoing systemic harm; to ensure accountability and transparency as these harms are uncovered; to create policies and programs to address these issues, and to support the community through education, mental health services, and economic opportunities.
It鈥檚 a tall order for 90 minutes, but sometimes a breakthrough is one Courageous Conversation away. Students, faculty, staff and community members are all invited to join the conversation this Thursday, March 2 in the Student Center Ballroom (2121 Euclid Ave., third floor, Cleveland, OH 44115).
