Real Talk

Real Talk is a dialogue group focusing on the diverse experiences and needs of Scholars students of color. Discussion topics include microaggressions, cultural appropriation, gender/race roles and balance on campus, hot topics in the news, and more. 

We encourage our participants to utilize our Real Talk safe space as a brave space where they can ask difficult questions without judgment, be challenged, and listen to understand, especially when we don't agree. Our goal is to grow together in knowledge as well as community. 

Meetings take place every other week.

Students of color and allies who are current Scholars, Scholars undergraduate alumni or members of the UMD community are encouraged to join Real Talk.

We invite you to stop by our table at the North Campus Block Party in the Heritage Community Quad, on Friday, September 4, to learn more and sign up to join our email list.
