Seminar scope

Attendees will get involved in some dynamic, life-changing activities by participating in this free seminar hosted by the Chancellor's Council on Diversity. The seminar focuses on the three steps or stages (identity, presence, and intentionality) that form the foundation upon which stronger relationships can be established. Participants will have opportunities to engage in thought-provoking dialogue and experiences designed to help each person broaden their perspectives and better understand the value of differences at TCU and beyond.
