Sustained Dialogue at UVA

Club Description

Sustained Dialogue (SD) groups of about 15-20 students meet weekly for dialogues about identity and issues that affect the UVA community. Groups are led by trained student moderators and topics include but are not limited to the influence of race, gender, religion, disability, etc.SD also partners with other student and community organizations to co-host events and provide trained moderators to foster "dialogue" in the larger University community.Sustained Dialogue's vision is to create an empathetic and understanding university community, where all students feel welcome. Each individual is comfortable expressing their opinions and sharing their experiences with others. All students actively challenge their assumptions and seek to understand the perspectives of their peers. We strive to achieve this vision by creating opportunities for open and honest dialogue between all members of the student body.
