New York Tech is home to doers, makers, innovators, and healers — and right now, we're looking for New York Tech community members who want to help build something that will shape how our campus talks, listens, and engages with different perspectives. Faculty, staff, and students are all welcome! Enjoy refreshments and snacks, plus a chance to win a swag bag in your session's raffle just by attending. Invite a colleague, student, or friend to join you (they'll need to register too).  New York Tech recently received a U.S. Department of Education grant to launch Tech Talks: Promoting Civil Discourse at New York Tech, a campus-wide initiative. As part of this effort, and in partnership with the Constructive Dialogue Institute (https://constructivedialogue.org/about/) (CDI), we're inviting students, faculty, and staff for Campus Dialogue Discovery, a 90-minute workshop where your input directly shapes what happens next.What you'll actually do:Help define what a stronger culture of dialogue looks like at New York Tech. Point out what's already working — and what's missing. Contribute directly to a roadmap that will guide future Tech Talks programming. This is a working session, not a lecture. The strength of the outcome depends on who's in the room ?? and members of the community are central to that. If you've got thoughts on how this campus handles hard conversations, disagreement, or diverse perspectives, this is where that input goes to work.Register (https://apps.nyit.edu/forms/tech-talks-campus-dialogue-discovery-nyc-01)
