Deeper Dialogue Events

The Applied Behavioral Sciences Division at Cuesta College is pleased to introduce "Deeper Dialogues",

a gathering for deeper listening, deeper conversation, and meaningful civic engagement—while exploring

the hard questions of our time.  The guiding intention behind Deeper Dialogues is to create a respectful

space for giving voice to our passionate disagreements on deep, contrasting convictions, not for the

purposes of trying to change anyone's mind but to support understanding across our divides.

September 25th, 4-5:15pm, Room 4403, SLO Campus

Deeper Dialogues: Legalized Safe Injection Sites
October 2nd, 4-5:15pm, Room 4403, SLO campus
