Goals of the Roundtable Forum

To promote civil and productive conversation on shared concerns across generational, cultural, and disciplinary perspectives. To raise awareness about issues and come up with appropriate inquiry and creative action to address them.

To promote a culture of inclusion on the Bloomington campus and in the Bloomington community: on campus, to support the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom; beyond the campus, to help prepare new generations of students, staff, faculty, in working with their community partners to address local and global issues.
