Day of Tolerance at NIU


The Collegiate Association of Unreasonable Social Entrepreneurs (CAUSE) would like to extend an invitation to you and your organization to join us for a very special event. On Wednesday, November 15th from 6:00pm-8:00pm in the Student Center (Heritage Room) CAUSE will be hosting a Civic Reflection to celebrate the International Day for Tolerance.
 
The International Day for Tolerance purpose is to create awareness about the principles of tolerance. CAUSE will be hosting this event with the purpose to educate people about the need for tolerance on campus and to help students understand the negative effects of intolerance. We will be hosting a Civic Reflection session, a safe place to express your opinions and ideals on intolerance within our society. We will be focusing on justice and equality as well as citizenship and democracy.
 
Jocelyn Santana will be our guest speaker at this event and will be speaking about diversity, tolerance, and social justice.
 
About the Civic Reflection:
Civic Reflection broadly defined means reflecting on our civic actions, values and commitments. Civic Reflection discussions can help us talk more comfortably about values, think more deeply about choices, and respond more imaginatively to the needs of our communities in a safe space.
