Common hour
Join other students, faculty, and staff for engaging and enlightening social justice-focused discussions during Common Hour. Each week, our community gathers — whether in person, virtually, or both! — to explore and discuss thought-provoking topics with community and industry leaders who share their unique perspectives and experiences on a variety of societal issues.
From examining systemic inequalities to discussing strategies for positive change, these discussions are designed to inspire action and foster a deeper understanding of the world around us.
Common Hour is held on Wednesdays at noon Central. It offers a space for open and honest dialogue, providing a chance to engage with diverse viewpoints, challenge assumptions, and broaden your perspective on social justice issues.
