I have enjoyed the Deliberation Dinners so far and am grateful for the opportunity to build connections with people who have different views than mine. My favorite part of the dinners has been dissecting and understanding how the others at my table think and challenging their views. [Our Faculty Facilitator] has done a great job creating a safe, welcoming environment for us to share our thoughts in. The space feels open and supportive, which creates a sense of comfort that allows us to speak up, ask questions and be open to being challenged.
