For Faculty, Students, Administrators, and Staff

In-person: Thursdays, 12:00–1:00 p.m. (LTRC, Room 122, Thompson Library)

Registration for Skill Share with EP

Join Engaged Pluralism (EP) for this informal brown-bag lunchtime series dedicated to learning and sharing skills that enhance our ability to communicate and to come together in community, especially across differences. In each session, we will offer an overview of a particular community-building skill, practice using that skill, and debrief the process as a group. 

All members of the Vassar community are welcome. While registration is encouraged, walk-ins are welcome. Participants are invited to come to any or all of the sessions and to bring along lunch. These sessions will be facilitated by Amanda Munroe, Director of Restorative Practices, and Alexia Ferracuti, Director of Inclusive Pedagogy.

Topics & Dates:

  • February 1: Communicating Empathy
  • February 15: Observations & Evaluations
  • February 29: Ways We Listen
  • March 21: Feelings & Needs*
  • April 4: Community Agreements
  • April 18: Effective Requests*

* These sessions will address topics that derive from the framework of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
