Wildcat Dialogues Frequently Asked Questions
During Wildcat Dialogues, students gather to:
1) Learn the importance of engaging in meaningful dialogues
2) Learn tools to engage in dialogue about our cultural similarities and differences
3) Strategize and act to create a community of belonging at K-State
Students will engage in a small group of around 10, led by a student, faculty or staff facilitator.
We know that every human has identities that shape how we see and experience the world. As individuals come to K-State with varied identities, it takes intentional effort to come together as a K-State community and create a community of belonging for all. Wildcat Dialogues is a space to begin intentional building of relationships through vital and meaningful dialogues. We do this to develop, empower, and equip leaders who can navigate a global society with authentic curiosity, empathy and confidence.
Students’ participation in this event during the first semester sets the expectation for all Wildcats to be part of a respectful campus community that recognizes varying perspectives and identities. This event is an opportunity to bring K-State’s Principles of Community into practice.
Yes, students need to register to attend or to be facilitators through the Wildcat Dialogues website. The Wildcat Dialogues committee members will build out small groups and communicate with facilitators and students about the event.
