36 Questions for Civic Love
Want to have a deep conversation and get to know someone else? Want to learn more about the cultural context in which other people live their daily lives. We will use the National Public Housing Museum's program for 36 Questions for Civic Love as the framework. Attendees will join the online meeting to receive instructions and materials. Then we will send attendees to breakout rooms in pairs so that you can get to know your partner.
Faculty Member: Vanessa Preast, associate director of the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment
Discussion date: Wednesday, April 23, 7 p.m. CT
This Virtual Alumni College session will be a live event, with paired participants using a series of questions to get to know their partner. This event is also open to students! This is a first for VAC and we are excited to introduce this format!
