CatalystNU: Conversations that Transform

CatalystNU is a year-long programming series in which participants will learn the how of dialogue and build practical skills for having more meaningful conversations. Led by internal and external experts across disciplines, each session will weave together a topical theme with skill building in a highly interactive format. After completing the series, participants will have gained new knowledge and expanded skill sets to use in their working, learning, and living environments.


If you are interested in participating in CatalystNU, complete the application form below. The program includes six sessions: three full-day sessions (required) and three half-day sessions (optional, but highly encouraged). We encourage unit/department/school-based teams to apply (approx. 5 people).


Please note that due to space limitations, acceptance into the program is dependent upon your ability and agreement to be present at each of the three required, full-day sessions.


If you have questions about the program or need support in completing this application, please email diversity@northwestern.edu.
