Not Like Home: Transitioning Into A Socioeconomically Diverse Community
FRIDAY IN COLLIS 212 at
6:30PM
FREE FOOD!!!
Featuring Jewel of India
Socioeconomic Diversity is becoming a new ideal
standard that high tier colleges are only beginning to reach toward, as evidenced by partnerships between top tier colleges and programs like Questbridge and Posse. But like with any initiative to diversify college communities we must also ask if simply allowing
greater access to lower and middle class students access is enough? What happens after these students have passed the gates? What is it like to transition from a lower-middle income community into a more diverse one? What are some of our challenges and benefits?
(We appreciate more informational links to broaden the discussion!)
The SEC Dinner Discussion Series
aims to be a safe space where we conduct group discussions
about interesting questions, topics, and themes that are linked to class. The discussion will
be moderated by 2 students, and everyone gets a chance to speak. All expressed points of view are valid and we expect that everyone be respectful of others!
Dartmouth
