The Impact Center
The Impact Center for Community, Equity, and Understanding
The Impact Center for Community, Equity, and Understanding is located in the Student Life and Wellness Building on Bryn Mawr's campus.
Centering Community, Centering Conversations: From Conflict to Connection
The Impact Center team has developed a series of stand-alone sessions designed to foster communication in our campus community setting. We will pilot these three topics in Spring 2026, and hope to evolve outreach and participation in the following academic year.
Each session will feature an overview of content material, an opportunity to apply it to a case study scenario, and a time to close with personal and group reflections about how we can support community on campus and recognize common ground, even in the midst of disagreement and conflict.
More details will be available soon — watch Daily Digest for updates. If you have questions, please contact A.T. Ortiz, Dean for Equity, Inclusion, & Community Life, or any member of the Impact Center staff.
