The event will take place this Thursday, March 5, at 8:00 pm in the Log. Light food and drink will be served.

We will be exploring the question of whether unhappiness is acceptable at Williams. Is there something particular about our College that makes it difficult for students to express their displeasure? Does our campus culture silence those who feel alienated? If so, how do we approach a solution?

The students who attend the event will be broken up into smaller groups with a faculty/staff member facilitating discussion. The conversation should last about an hour. We would love to have you.
