Community Conversations
A new series, Community Conversations, will have senior leaders invite students, faculty and staff to share their thoughts on public safety, well-being and equity. The series of six events, beginning Monday, Nov. 23, will provide spaces for all members of the University community to have meaningful engagement and deep discussion on how to improve Northwestern.
Participants in each session will include President Morton Schapiro, Provost Kathleen Hagerty, Senior Vice President for Business and Finance Craig Johnson and Vice President for Student Affairs Julie Payne-Kirchmeier.
This event is limited to 15 participants, excluding the senior leaders, to facilitate a small-group discussion. Additional potential participants will be placed on a wait list. Due to new Illinois pandemic guidelines that limit indoor gatherings, events in November and December will be held remotely.
How Our Community is Helping
Northwestern is contributing to the fight against COVID-19 and making an impact. In times of crisis, our community of faculty, students, staff and friends alike pull together to make a difference.
