First Year Seminar class “The Talking Cure: Dialogue in a Polarized Age” will be hosting a dialogue on the topic of race and the use of the N-word in classes on Tuesday, May 7, from 7–9 p.m. in Medbury Honors Lounge.

Because the use of the N-word is a prevalent issue in classrooms, we would love to hear about your opinion on it. This is a dialogue and not a debate. We are not trying to decide who is right or wrong; we simply want to hear from all perspectives. We encourage you to come with an open mind.

Why have a dialogue if we won’t solve the problem? Because our aim is to create awareness and mutual understanding on our campus, even if you don’t change your mind.

For questions, email Carol Spaulding-Kruse at carol.spaulding@drake.edu.
