As part of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, we offer the
Words of Engagement Intergroup Dialogue Program (WEIDP) for undergraduate
students who are interested in engaging with other students on difficult, but
rewarding, topics. Our intergroup dialogues include dialogues across race,
class, gender, nationality, sexuality, among others. Classes are taught by
trained and experienced facilitators. Participants can expect a rich and
rewarding experience as well as an opportunity to develop skills in cultural
competence.
All dialogues are 7-week, 1-credit courses that
are held in the first and second halves of each semester and WEIDP courses
satisfy the new General Education Cultural Competence. The Spring 2014
dialogue schedule can be found here: http://www.odec.umd.edu/WE/Flyers/Dialogue%20Schedule.pdf
