Tommies Reduce the Rancor
"Tommies Reduce the Rancor," is a pioneering partnership between our university and the esteemed Braver Angels Minnesota's "Reduce the Rancor" campaign. This alliance is more than just a coalition; it's a commitment to transform the landscape of public discourse.
In a time when societal divisions seem insurmountable, our joint endeavor seeks to bridge the gap, fostering an environment where dialogue flourishes beyond the boundaries of our differences.
This partnership is poised to make a significant impact, encouraging students, faculty, staff, and the broader community to engage in respectful and effective dialogue.
Together, we are setting the stage for a future where discourse unites rather than divides, creating a more inclusive, empathetic, and understanding society.
