“We are all about how we can build community despite differences that exist among us,” said Sara VanSteenbergen, a graduate student in college student personnel administration.

Stacie Savage, senior dietetics major, said Let’s Talk is about hearing the other side.

“They are a human being and they have a valid point,” she said.

The next Let’s Talk event is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 7, in the Union. The topic of discussion will be women in science, technology, engineering and math careers.
