Millennium Fellowship Project: Unity on Vanderbilt's Campus
My Project has focused on finding spaces and opportunities to have conversations about difficult topics on campus. Because I am a senior at Vanderbilt, I have been able to identify different groups that hold conversations, including Dialogue Vanderbilt, the Interfaith Scholars Program, and the Robert Penn Warren Center Humanities in the Real World Fellowship. Through the Millennium Fellowship, I have attended several events hosted by these groups and the University to better understand civil discourse and current conversations. I have also spoken with peers about current issues.
