Real Talk educations programming series are designed to encourage Mavericks to engage in hard conversations that open the mind and heart. In conjunction with President Marshall’s vision for a Human Scale university, Real Talk allows Mavericks to sit down with one another to learn and discuss hard topics. The goal of the Real Talk committees are to build a better sense of belonging for all Mavericks on campus.
