Join Critical Conversations on Jan. 27 and 31

Institutions of higher education are uniquely positioned to engage in difficult dialogue and everyone at Case Western Reserve University should feel safe to discuss complex issues, while feeling heard and respected.

Please join Provost Ben Vinson III for two events this month as panels of experts unearth the complexities of Race & Racism and Conflicts in the Middle East. Both events will take place in the Tinkham Veale University Center, Ballroom A. Light refreshments will be provided.
