Summary:Small Liberal Arts College (SLAC) is a small, private, liberal arts college in the Midwest. The college brought together students to participate in a 3-hour structured conversation/dialogue on racial literacy. The purpose of the dialogue was to create a campuswide dialogue to better understand how to support a more inclusive campus-for students from historically marginalized groups in particular. I (Roger) designed this experience to have individuals engage in processes designed to support their personal development.
