You’re invited to the inaugural Common Grounds: Brewing Ideas & Cultivating Change — a new coffee house conversation series designed to bring our community together.

Common Grounds is a relaxed gathering where CCAS faculty, staff, students and alumni come together to share ideas, reflect on important issues and deepen connections across the College. Through open dialogue and thoughtful conversation, the series aims to cultivate a stronger sense of belonging while highlighting the experiences and perspectives of the many communities that make up our college.

Our first conversation, presented in partnership with University Advancement, will feature Imani Cheers, assistant professor of digital storytelling in the School of Media and Public Affairs and author of Sacred Sisterhood: A Celebration of Black Women’s Friendships on Television and in Film. Her work explores how Black women use photography and visual storytelling to shape narratives, identity and representation.

Join us for coffee, conversation and community as we reflect on storytelling, visibility and representation. Please register today! 

The first five attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Dr. Cheers’ new book.
