HAVING THE CONVERSATION
At Georgia State we believe education is the key to combating ignorance and intolerance. It improves society by teaching us to appreciate and celebrate the unique perspective differences provide. One of the greatest strengths of our educational environment is the diverse student body of which you are a part. The opportunity to explore ideas in community with others through respectful, inclusive dialogue helps promote the kind of understanding that is needed to combat racial injustice and discrimination.
