In
Their Own Words
"Even though everyone is bringing a different perspective to the table, I can really see the development of a community, it's all about making diversity more than a number on a piece of paper."
-Miriam Muscarella '12 SD Moderator
"In Sustained Dialogue, we discuss the issues not in terms of any ideological framework, but instead from the perspective of our own life experiences. It's people coming together by finding similarities in their personal experience."

"These conversations are vital. They bring students together who otherwise would not have a chance to meet one another. It's an opportunity to learn about yourself and your peers. SD is creating tolerance, understanding, and, hopefully, acceptance."
"At the start of
the academic year, Harvard joined 11 other
colleges around the country in becoming part of
the Sustained Dialogue Campus Network.
Encouraging these conversations both across the
House and Yard as a part of the BGLT working
group or through the Sustained Dialogue
Program-underscores our desire to uphold
important community values of civic engagement
on moral and ethical questions in a diverse
world. We expect these conversations will
enrich students' lives during their time at the
College, and continue to inform your worldview
long after you have graduated. They also
provide invaluable forums for students to
express an deficiencies that may exist in the
support, training, and resources for students
from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs.
Personally, I also believe that conversations
like these allow us to reaffirm our community
values of dignity and respect for everyone in
the College.

Dean of Harvard College
