Engage in Dialogue
Days-Massolo Center
Programming explores intersections among gender, race, culture, religion, sexuality, ability, socioeconomic class and other facets of human difference.
Our Diverse Community
The quality of personal interaction that takes place in our classrooms extends to residences, performance halls, playing fields, dining halls, labs and to casual conversations that take place in Café Opus. That’s why we seek a diverse student body. Different perspectives and life experiences expand the breadth and augment the rigor of the intellectual life of our College.
