Skills for Challenging Conversations

Submit an event

Items featured as events are scheduled training/development opportunities such as workshops, information sessions and other civil discourse resources.

For your submitted item to be considered

  • Submitted items must be related or pertinent to the topic or the practice of civil discourse, broadly defined as “A conversation in which there is a mutual airing of views without rancor. It is an unspoken understanding that everyone is entitled to their own opinions — and is entitled to be treated respectfully and with dignity.” 
  • A submitted item must be sponsored or hosted by a university affiliate and be open to members of the campus community (students, faculty and/or staff).
  • Links to websites associated with osu.edu are preferred and strongly encouraged.
  • Required fields on the form must be provided.
  •  Descriptions should be in a single paragraph form and should include only the minimum necessary information. Optimal descriptions are approximately 40 words, and no more than 75 words.
  • Please provide a link to a webpage with full information on the event, including a description, time, date, place and program agenda, not a registration form. Links to online video event forms such as Zoom are acceptable, as long as the page includes  full detail about the event. 

Please note

  • Submissions must be received 10 business days prior to actual event date to be considered and added to the calendar. For example, if your event will occur on the third Monday of a month, then your submission must be received no later than the first Monday of the same month. 
  • Submissions with links to external websites unaffiliated with the university will not be considered for inclusion.
  • The following types of submissions are ineligible: obituaries, job postings, items that advertise for-profit ventures or services that require payment, news or events unrelated to the Ohio State community, or items deemed inappropriate by the Office of Marketing and Communications staff.

Some types of submissions include a description, while others (e.g., courses and training opportunities) only include a headline and a link to read more. Descriptions should be written as you would like them to appear on the webpage. We reserve the right to edit for clarity or brevity.
