Conversations of Understanding
Conversations of Understanding have become a fixture across the SIU System and on our individual campuses. They are a series of exchanges where students, alumni, faculty, staff and the broader SIU communities can share their experiences and thoughts on a variety of themes related to antiracism, diversity, equity and inclusion. We want to be recognized as a leader in our region and beyond for our work in fostering an understanding of relevant contemporary issues.
