Testimonials

“It is rewarding to be a part of a group of professionals and students who are committed to the boots-on-the-ground work for social change.”

“I thought that the lead facilitator was outstanding. The small-group discussion on identity brought out important facets of my team’s identity that tend not to be overtly stated in our work environment, and that I will take into consideration in the future.”

“We should continue talking about diversity and race to debunk the subject as something that people just think but don’t engage in, talk about, or address.”

“Great learning experience – this should be rolled out to all (staff/faculty/students).”

“It is great that AU is having this discussion on campus and encourage it wholeheartedly. We are all different and it is important to acknowledge that to ensure a fair and safe working space.”

“I would like to see these conversations happening on a department level and more often.”

“Thank you to the AU Connects team for taking this very seriously and really understanding our dynamics as a team. It was a great experience working with you.”

“The session was good. I think it could actually have been longer – at least a full two hours. Once the group gets started talking, there is a lot to explore.”

“The facilitators were very insightful and had a plan to get our team over the finish-line. I was very impressed that they got everyone talking and sharing their viewpoints by making it a very safe space.”
