Dinner with Friends is a new, virtual program for Kent State staff, faculty and students built on engaging, facilitated small-group conversations over dinner that allow participants to connect with other members of the Kent State community.
Topics include:
- Building community in virtual spaces
- Supporting mental health in challenging times
- Promoting civic involvement and community engagement
- Achieving equity and inclusion
- Responding to food insecurity
Participants gather in a large group at the beginning of the virtual event and then are spun off into small "dinner tables," or breakout rooms, for a time to get to know each other and begin their discussion guided by a trained facilitator. Near the end of the program, participants will return to the large room and conclude the event with some reports from each conversation and some general observations on participants' experiences.
The first Dinner with Friends event will take place on Wednesday, March 3, from 6 - 8 p.m. Registration is required, and we ask that all participants commit to participating in the entire length of the program.
