Discussion Dinners
Free Food. Big Questions. Real Conversations.
Join us for four FREE discussion dinners! At a time at which political division and polarization is at its height, the aim of these dinners is to have fun and stimulating conversations on controversial moral and political issues with other students, all while sharing dinner together.
Potential topics include free speech and hate speech, election integrity and voting access, AI and data centers, privacy and surveillance technologies, wealth inequality, censorship and book bannings, etc.
The dates of the four dinners are:
- Thursday, October 1, 2026 @ 6:30-8:00pm
- Thursday, November 5, 2026 @ 6:30-8:00pm
- Monday, February 8, 2027 @ 6:30-8:00pm
- Monday, March 8, 2027 @ 6:30-8:00pm
Students who apply and are accepted will be expected to attend all four dinners (at no cost to them!). We are looking for 40-60 students to enjoy dinner with us. Each table will have a faculty facilitator.
Emails will be sent to confirm whether applicants have been accepted into the dinners. If you have difficulty accessing the link, please email Rickie-Ann Legleitner (legleitnerr@uwstout.edu).
HON Partner Program: McNair
Are you thinking about pursuing Graduate school? The McNair scholars program might be a good fit for you!
The McNair program is a support system for undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds to help prepare for graduate school. Each McNair student receives individual support from staff in preparing, conducting, and completing research; identifying and applying to graduate programs; and finding funding for graduate school.
Along with individualized support, Honors students will also receive one honors point for participating in the program. And many Honors students also find a way to combine their McNair research with their Honors project.
Learn more about the McNair Scholars Program and find out if you are eligible to apply.
