Leadership message
Modeling civil discourse is “what the world needs right now”
In a message to the University community, President Mangelsdorf set the stage for the fall semester and for Rochester Conversations. She reflected that, “By pledging ourselves to the idea that outstanding scholarship, research, and creativity can only emerge from honest and respectful dialogue that includes a wide circle of voices, we can model the kind of civil discourse that our University and the world needs right now.”
