Thoughts on the DePauw Dialogue

Two days after the DePauw Day of Inclusion, Prindle hosted the “Debrief with Desserts” event to continue the conversations started at the dialogue itself. It was a lunch hour of conversation and delicious desserts from Almost Home, and I had the opportunity to interview a few of the attendees.

Overall, I was thrilled to see that many people came away with a fairly positive impression of the day, and even more excited to see that the consensus was to continue forward in the same direction: to keep the conversation going. In the words of freshman Caesar Tobar-Acosta, “Just talk about it.” I was also humbled and pleased to know that no one felt the problems of campus climate here at DePauw were solved; rather, the day was the first step on a long road.
