As President Kornbluth has emphasized, attendance at these or any other campus talks does not mean that you endorse the speaker’s views or past statements. To make space for everyone to engage thoughtfully with our speakers and each other, we will ask attendees not to photograph, video, or record the audience.
I hope you will join me for these community conversations.
Sincerely,
Melissa Nobles
Chancellor
