When Campus Crises Become Collaborative Possibility

Crises don't have to pull people apart; they can also be a turning point for collaboration and connection. In this interactive session, attendees will walk through real case studies and try out a scenario role play to explore constructive, pluralistic responses during tense moments. Attendees will learn how funders and practitioners can support each other, practice tools for staying grounded and strategic under pressure, and leave with practical ways to strengthen collaboration when the stakes are high.
