Conversations of Color are open and honest discussions about race, popular culture, identity, and current events. The goals of this ongoing series include:
- To provide a space to hold difficult and challenging dialogue
- Provide context and clarity to issues happening in the world around us
- To assist students in understanding the complex issues of identity and how they affect us as individuals and a campus community

- History of book bans and what historical narrative and literature has been lost
- A review of currently restricted books.
- How normalization of racist ideas perpetuates harm.
- Americas all white reading curriculum.
