David Tukey approached Princeton trustee Hal
Saunders with the idea to start a campus

In
Their Own Words
“Sustained Dialogue is the best thing in the history of ever. I've become a more compelling speaker, a better leader, and most importantly a better listener. SD has taught me a very valuable lesson: It's really in details of how someone speaks and where you get to know a person."
-Osahon Okundaye,
Princeton '12
"As a former
participant, moderator, and student leader of
Princeton University’s Sustained Dialogue
(SD) program, I have been fortunate to meet and
interact with many diverse individuals, many of
whom I consider to be good friends. I credit
these friends and the SDCN with helping me to
develop the skill set necessary to form
meaningful relationships across racial, ethnic,
religious, and sexual identities."-Reggie Galloway,
Princeton SD Alum
“Last week’s
training has definitely helped me better
understand the power dynamic between my
supervisor and me and to be a better and more
conscientious coworker in general." -Princeton Alumni
