- Support faculty in developing courses and directing conversations that enable students to experience and understand Finding Ourselves in Community.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Define key concepts associated with identity and the formation of social identities.

Finding Ourselves in Community will ensure that all TCU graduates demonstrate the skills to act as equitable and inclusive members of diverse communities.
