Belonging 'Dialogue Circles' Set for Residential Students
Please note that the 7-8 p.m. Tuesday session is canceled.
A series of dialogue circles will be held today and Tuesday for residential students to speak about what it means to belong on the university campus.
These talks will be virtual and begin today. Students can attend through a Zoom link. Sessions are scheduled for 5-6 p.m. and 7-8 p.m. today and 5-6 p.m. Tuesday.
Those who attend the circles will receive a $10 Chartwells gift card for participating.
University Housing partnered with the belonging committee to hold these circles.
The belonging committee, made of members from Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, Student Success as well as student representation, has been engaging various groups, organizations and departments on campus in conversations throughout the fall and spring to gather perspectives on belonging and community that will be used to inform an action plan for strengthening the feeling of belonging on campus.
A new website, Belonging.uark.edu, is now live and ready for the campus community to explore. You can read stories of belonging and more about the committee's goal at that website.
