Words of Engagement Intergroup Dialogue Program

Spring 2020 courses for the Words of Engagement Intergroup Dialogue Program

are now posted and open for enrollment!

The Words of Engagement Intergroup Dialogue Program (WEIDP) is a for-credit social justice education initiative that brings together students of diverse backgrounds for facilitated face-to-face conversations that supports students in exploring key questions about who we are, what we know about each other, and how systems of power impact our lives and relationships. WEIDP prepares students to navigate an increasingly diverse society through relationship building across difference and taking steps, both individually and collectively, that promote equity and justice.

All WEIDP courses count towards the Gen Ed Cultural Competence Diversity Requirement. Students can register for a dialogue course directly on testudo. Each dialogue course consists of 2-3 themed sections and participants are placed in one of the sections of course they registered for.
