About
Our Team

Each Dialogue features thought leaders who have moved the dial on public policy. They are legislators, attorneys taking cases to the United States Supreme Court, and scholars who advise lawmakers in state capitols and the US Congress.  These established experts are joined by esteemed members of the university or local community, who moderate the discussion.  

 
At each #TMD, our Dialogue Catalysts and your school's student winners give their insights on making the world more tolerant. Then we open it up for audience discussion.  The scholarship winners’ essays form the foundation for the Dialogue, making each unique to the host university and community.
