Stories
Through Campus Community Conversations, we hope to teach Bruins that the goal of dialogue is not to achieve harmony but rather to deepen our understanding of one another and enhance our ability to hear others. The resulting empathy and comprehension can transform polarization into productive exchange across our campus community

Distinguished Professor and Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History in the College and Director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy
Student resilience is built through connection. By providing safe judgment-free spaces for difficult dialogues, we ensure every Bruin feels heard, supported and emotionally equipped to navigate today’s challenges.
