Regardless of the outcome of the election and individual political views related to this outcome, the collective experience of the presidential election season means that some students, faculty and staff will look for spaces to process and move forward together.
To support the campus community during the post-election period, the Center for Civic Engagement has developed a general discussion guide that may be useful for those who are facilitating these conversations. Our hope is that these discussions take place in the spaces where students and others feel a sense of belonging and connection. You know these communities best and can structure conversations in ways that meet your needs. This guide is intended to provide general ideas for ground rules, discussion formats and question prompts.
