Programs

All In. All Year. Identity & Inclusion Every Day

The All In. All Year. Calendar is a university-wide calendar coordinated and curated by The Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement (CICCE) to promote access, opportunity, and community engagement focused programs and events at the University of Mississippi and LOU community. This calendar seeks to bring awareness, foster conversation, and build community throughout the year!

Are You Ready? Dialogue Series

The AYR dialogues series seeks to provide space for participants to learn about challenging topics, listen to fellow campus and community members share their perspectives and knowledge, and take away skills and practices they can implement for themselves and within their communities at the University of Mississippi and beyond.

We aim for an informal setting in the hope that attendees will be honest, vulnerable, and humble to ensure productive and respectful dialogue can occur. We aim to emphasize the value of both academic research and personal lived experiences. Upon the conclusion of the event, we call on one another to continue building our awareness and knowledge to lead us to action on creating a more welcoming community.
