Dinner Dialogues
Dinner Dialogues was a program series started by the Cross-Cultural Center in 2007. The program, as administrative peer educator Diana Wong stated in the Thursday, January 30th edition of The Pride, was "where students, staff, and faculty are welcome to come to dinner and discuss the topic of the night." Dinner was provided by the Cross-Cultural Center and topics varied by month. The first program in the series was titled "Who's Acting What?" and was designed to be a discussion of "socially constructed identities and what happens when individuals stray from that stereotype and are called out for 'acting.'" Other topics included Native Americans and land, the civil rights movement, immigration reform, a pre-Thanksgiving feast, and Passover Seder.
