  2. In this presentation • About Ask Big Questions Fellowship: Slides 3-6 • Recruiting Fellows: Slides 7-15

  3. What are the fellows doing? • Hosting 5 small group Ask Big Questions conversations with diverse peers. • We will teach you and students what an Ask Big Questions conversation is. Here are some basics: • Starts with a Big Question- that all students can answer. • Leads to conversation, not debate. • Encourages story sharing. • Takes place with diverse peers. • Students can create their own Big Questions and conversation guides or they can use the ones provided. • Working as a cohort to create at least two campus-wide events to promote positive conversations and deepened relationships. • Examples from this past year include: • University of Toronto: What If? Campaign (a radio program) • Michigan State’s Laugh in Peace Comedy Tour • Baruch’s “What is Business?” essay contest • Florida Atlantic University’s “What would you do to save a life?” Bone Marrow Registration Drive • And more…

  4. Depth and Breadth BenchmarksRelationships • Interactions • Initiatives • Ask Big Questions • 57 total relationships in REACH • Inner = 10 • Middle = 15 • Outer = 30 • Faculty/Staff- 2 • At least 2 campaigns to engage university per cohort • Fellows should host at least 5 small group conversations Please note: Only 30 relationships are required according to your grant agreement. This past year fellows surpassed that goal rather quickly, so we’d like to start by giving students a higher target. Only 30 are required for fulfillment of grant agreement.

  5. Fellow Training at Institute Did you know? At Institute we are partnering with the Center for Civic Reflection to design and help facilitate training for the Ask Big Questions fellows. The training will be high level and highly interactive.
