[Jewish] inviting again to dialogues on Israel and Palestine

[Jaime Davila]

Greetings all,

I wanted to remind everyone about and invite everyone to participate in 
the dialogues around Israel and Palestine that the Office For Diversity 
and Multicultural Education is sponsoring. To date, we have very few 
people voicing interest. IN fact, so few that we risk not being able to 
run the program. I exhort each of you to give consideration to this 
program, and getting back to me if you're interested. Thanks to those of 
you who have already said you are interested.

Below is the most recent announcement I sent out.

Best,

Jaime

> Conversations would be facilitated by outside experts. We are in contact

> The dialogues can accommodate between 15-25 students, who would need to
> agree to participate on four 3-hour evening sessions, with meals
> provided by Hampshire (good food, I promise!).

> What I would need from each of you is for you to consider this
