Several University organizations are collaborating to examine socioeconomic class and how it relates to campus issues.
The University library system and Dialogue@Princeton, have brought Cris Cullinan, a University of Oregon administrator, to Princeton this week to help set up dialogue groups that focus on socioeconomic class.
Cullinan is the Training and Development Administrator at University of Oregon and "a nationally recognized expert in the field of diversity," the Library Human Resources website said.
Dialogue@Princeton was developed in fall 2002 with the financial support of the Bildner Foundation, which supports new intergroup programming efforts, such as those of Sustained Dialogue.
The program is designed to support projects that "promote honest, ongoing dialogue on many topics — race, ethnicity, gender, faith, class differences, social justice — among Princeton students, faculty, staff, and members of the larger Princeton community," the website for the Office of the Vice President for Campus Life said.
Fleurette King, who most recently ran the Office of Diversity Education at DePaul University in Chicago, is coordinator of Dialogue@Princeton.
Cullinan and King both attended a brainstorming session yesterday to develop further discussion on campus about class and socioeconomic status.
Through its "Mosaics" initiative the library staff aims to "understand and appreciate each other better" by examining the different ethnic backgrounds of their fellow employees.
As part of this initiative, the library's dialogue group has decided to join Dialogue@Princeton and Cullinan's efforts.
The Dialogue Group Facilitators' training and luncheon, "Talking Across the Great Divide: How Do We Create a Learning Environment in Dialogues About Class?" will be held today from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Firestone East Room.
"Class Issues in the Workplace and the Academy," a workshop intended for the entire campus, will be held today from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Carl A. Fields Center's Liberation Hall.

Senior class jacket abruptly changed following accusations of AI design
Vitus LarrieuFor more than a century, Princeton seniors have donned “beer jackets” to protect their clothes during Reunions and commencement celebrations, typically with elaborate designs chosen by a class-wide contest. Now, with a selection process marred by accusations of generative AI use, the Class of 2026 may have written its own spot in Princeton history.
