Year of Communication

Help us grow the Sheridan Center Conversation Tree!

Prompted by our interest in sustaining conversations started in the Fall Semester around this year's theme of Communication, and inspired by the campus-wide CRLT Players performance, we've placed a Conversation Tree in the main entrance of the Center. The tree presents handwritten tags collected from the audience at the CRLT Players' performance, that express campus-wide reflections on issues and concerns that affect us as individuals and as members of the wider Brown community. These issues include reflections on diversity, work-life balance, personal experiences and educational climate. We invite you to stop by the Center to contribute your own "reflection tags" to this ongoing conversation about topics that matter at Brown.

See more information on the yearlong theme.
