The Division of Diversity and Belonging second annual Day of Dialogue takes place on Friday, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Donnell Theatre, located in the Wolfe Center for the Arts.

Works can be as short as five minutes or as long as 45 minutes. Artwork and/or written artifacts submitted may be displayed for the duration of the event.
