Talk2me2knowme is a diversity dialogue program hosted by the Office of Multicultural Affairs. We anticipate up to 1000 students participating in this annual program. Talk2me2knowme will challenge students to take a stand on their beliefs, and in return be willing to listen and empathize with others before questioning them. The talk2me2knowme t- shirt is an invitation to engage in this form of honest dialogue. Those who wear the shirt should be willing to be initiators and active participants in dialogue. Dialogues can focus on a variety of issues such as but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, religious diversity, alcohol and drugs, interpersonal violence, sexual assault, homophobia, global terrorism, anti-Semitism, and ableism. When you wear this shirt on November 6, 7, 8, or 9 you must talk to at least 5 people who appear to be different from you racially or ethnically. Please review the attachment to learn more about the upcoming events.
