What the Friday?

Hi all-
Something that came out of our Anti-Racism Learning Groups is the need to have an ongoing conversation around the day to day current events. Abby came up with the genius play on words - "What the Friday!" aka WTF. These spaces would occur each Friday at 3pm for our campus to join a common WebEx space to talk about current events. Our hopes would that this would be a space for faculty, staff, and students to share in the same space to have continued space of conversations to talk about current events and all the other WTF happenings in our world.

Our thought was that we would use a common WebEx Room (Sofia created one for Summer trivia) and this way we could always make sure that someone from the community alignment would be there each week - not requiring all of us, but alternating like once every four weeks. Our role would be to help support the space, guide the conversation, etc. This isn't meant to add any additional work to anyone's plate, but simply be a space where our campus community can come and share authentically about how they are doing based on what’s happening in the world, and one of us would simply assist with getting things started and sharing common practices similar to the ones we used to use for Tars Talks to create a space of civil discourse. The goal would be to make sure that we rotate through and always have a professional staff member in those spaces. Thus, we are asking for folks to sign-up for at least two that they can commit to attending to lead the conversation. Thank you in advance.
