A Day of Dialogue at Cal State Northridge

"As members of the Cal State Northridge community, it is important that we engage in open dialogue," said Wendy Yost, coordinator of Project Community. "In doing so, we gain insight into and an appreciation of other cultures, backgrounds, orientations and abilities through the life experience of others.

"Wednesday's discussion is even more pertinent, given the recent tensions that have arisen during the debate over Prop. 209," Yost said.

There will be two sessions of dialogue on Nov. 13. The first will begin at 8:30 a.m. with the second beginning at 12:30 p.m. Both will take place in the Grand Salon of the University Student Union near the center of the campus at 18111 Nordhoff St. in Northridge.

The "Day of Dialogue" program was created by the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office in response to the city's unrest following the O.J. Simpson verdict. Although many "Days of Dialogue" have been hosted throughout the Los Angeles area, there have been only two so far in the San Fernando Valley.
