Voices United: A Call for Civic Bridgebuilding with Rep. Derek Kilmer

3000 Landerholm Circle Southeast,Bellevue WA 98007

22 May, 2023

Description

What does it mean to "build bridges" with others in our communities? Why does it matter? And why do we often struggle to do so? Help kick off the week by joining a conversation about about the what and why of civic bridgebuilding. This informal discussion will follow remarks from Representative Derek Kilmer, one of the lead sponsors of the 2022 Building Civic Bridges Act in Congress. As we discuss the importance and challenges of building relationships across difference, we will set the tone for the week, and for what we seek in our campus community. This event is part of Bellevue College's "Voices United: A Week of Campus-Wide and Civic Conversation," sponsored by BC's Office of the President and organized by BC's RISE Learning Institute.
