The event was held at the Contemplative Commons with support by Contemplative Sciences Center.

Second-year student Annika Bhatia, also a member of CSC's student staff, shared how the evening was valuable to members of the University community.

“Talk to people who aren't the same as you,” Bhatia said. “The active engagement with others and trying to be there and trying to have these conversations is really important … I think that encouraging that concept … to people who are open to it, would be beneficial for the student body.”
