"SOURCE Intergroup Dialogue on Skin Tone"
Participants will reflect on how "skin tone" impacts their college
experiences as well as the dynamics "skin tone" brings to the Cultural
Center. This dialogue explores similarities, differences and conflicts
related to the multicultural student community. This is also an opportunity
for personal exploration.

“Intergroup Dialogue is a facilitated face-to-face interaction between
students from difference background, with the goal of raising awareness
about their differences as well as commonalities. It creates room for
students to engage in honest and productive dialogues about issues of social
inequalities and explore ways in which they can work together towards
justice and equity.” Zúñiga, X. & Nagda, B. A., Chesler, M, & Cytron-Walker,
A. (2007). Intergroup dialogue in high education: Meaningful learning about
social justice. ASHE-ERIC Higher Education Report Volume 32, Number 4. San
Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
