Perspectives

At the University of Utah, we value meaningful conversations - even when they're hard. That's why we're offering Perspectives, an online training from the Constructive Dialogue Institute designed to help you navigate difficult conversations and connect across differences. It only takes an hour to complete, and you can do it at your own pace.
 
Whether you're working on a group project, tackling a tricky topic with friends or family, or preparing to enter the workforce, you'll be able to put your new skills to use right away!
