Husker Dialogues Event Surveys, 2020
I thought I was an open-minded person, but Husker Dialogues made me realize that I need to open my mind even wider about my actions and thoughts towards others’ cultures and races. I, along with many students I spoke with, want to make UNL a safe environment… and it all starts by acting and making the first move.
I just opened up about a lot of things that I’ve never really talked about out loud. It showed me how fun and liberating it can be to talk about diversity and embrace each others’ differences. Comments from participants of Husker Dialogues, 2019
