CMC Community Roundtable
Friday, February 10, 2017
9:30 a.m. – 12:45 p.m.
Security Pacific Dining Room, Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum
Given the deep divides that we are currently experiencing in our society, it is vital that our community comes together to participate in conversations to help identify the knowledge, experiences, and capabilities we need as an institution and as engaged members of society both to do well and to do good.
On Friday, February 10, the College will host a community roundtable for students, faculty, and staff. This is an opportunity to leverage the powerful expertise and leadership on our campus, building on our shared commitment to strong, mutual support and friendship across political lines; reflective, open inquiry about an uncertain world; and a dedication to learn and make a difference in our constitutional democracy and the world beyond.
