Sustained Dialogue

Modeled after the tenets of the nationally renowned Intergroup Dialogues Program, Sustained Dialogue is a student-centered, dialogic social justice education model that fosters student engagement and learning across differences. Sustained Dialogues focus on race, gender, sexual orientation, class, religion, and ability.

Sustained Dialogue aims to bring people together from diverse backgrounds to address and resolve deep-rooted issues that are dividing the campus and community along political, religious, cultural, social, racial, or socioeconomic lines. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Office of Multicultural Affairs, Dr. Marianne Goodfellow, Associate Professor of Sociology, Dr. Matthew Sayers, Assistant Professor of Religion, and the Pallas Society, Lebanon Valley College’s Honor Society.
