The Tough Topic Tuesdays program serves as an opportunity to foster civic dialogue, promote understanding and create a respectful environment for the campus community to engage in discussions on challenging subjects that students may encounter around values, beliefs, identity, politics, mental health, interpersonal relationships and social interactions.
By providing a platform for open and constructive conversations, Tough Topic Tuesdays contributes to the overall growth and development of our University community. This free drop-in discussion series is open to Syracuse University students, faculty and staff.
