About the Series

Inspired by the power of personal story telling and empathic listening, a small group of people connected to William & Mary in diverse ways began to create opportunities for open conversational sharing about personal experiences related to social issues. Read the W&M News story on our first series to get a closer look at the experience. 

The planning committee is comprised of staff, faculty members, students, and community members, who work together collaboratively beginning the fall preceding the series.

The 2020 planning committee will be announced later in the semester.
