No Dumb Questions: Bring All Your Questions

THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY

Thursday, April 23rd

12:30 - 1:45 pm

IOP Living Room, 5707 S Woodlawn Ave, Chicago, IL 60637

We’ve all had moments when we held back from asking something because we worried it might sound obvious or “dumb.” This interactive seminar is built to challenge that instinct. Participants will anonymously submit questions about politics, careers, school, or life and we’ll explore them together in an open, judgment-free discussion. Questions might be big, like “How do I figure out what to do with the rest of my life?” or practical, like “How do I have a conversation with someone who has completely different political views than I do?” Others might feel small or basic like “What’ s a question everyone else seems to understand that I don’t?” 

Using a simple “question bowl” activity, we’ll surface the kinds of questions people often keep to themselves and talk through them as a group. More often than not, the questions we think are “dumb” are the ones many others share. Bring your curiosity and any question you’ve ever been hesitant to ask. No questions are off the table!

Career Development and Practitioner in Residence workshops are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
