HAPPENING TODAY! Culture Builders Keynote feat. Valarie Kaur

Culture Builders Keynote featuring Valarie Kaur
September 24 | 4:30 p.m.
Fine Arts Building

Join the Office of Community and Culture for a campus-wide conversation with Valarie Kaur, civil rights lawyer, educator, and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project.

Drawing from her book See No Stranger, Kaur invites us to consider love not simply as a feeling, but as a practice of change—and to explore what it means to truly see one another, stay connected across difference, and build communities where people can belong and thrive.

The event launches the 2026–27 Culture Builders cohort, a year-long learning community of faculty and staff exploring the everyday practices, relationships, and systems that shape institutional culture.

Students, staff, and faculty are welcome! The keynote will be followed by a live Q&A, so come ready to listen, reflect, and bring your questions.

See you at 4:30 in Fine Arts!
