    Black New England Conference

    (All day)

    Volunteering students are asked to facilitate discussions with conference participants in a breakout room after the panel—the conversation will be only 10-15 min long. There will be a number of breakout rooms run simultaneously to keep the number of participants manageable. The panel moderator will call for a break-out session at a certain point in the panel discussion time. CDL students can sign-up to facilitate one of these 10-15 minute conversations, but must commit to also attending the panel. Discussion will center around remarks/statements made by the panelists.
