Essay Topic: A key guiding principle for SUNY and an underlying tenet of SUNY Delhi's mission is our dedication to civic discourse. Part of being an engaged and informed citizen is being able to consider multiple points of view, to deliberate through curious and reasoned discussion, and to engage in advocacy, dissent, and dialogue. In this essay, share a time where you were able to engage in civil dialogue to advocate, dissent, or discuss an issue or topic important to you (e.g. championing for change at your school; engaging in the Student Senate to discuss important issues; volunteering for a cause you are passionate about; advocating for equitable practices in your community, etc.). How did you engage in civic discourse and how did this experience lead to your own personal growth or change? How will you continue to apply these practices of civic discourse into your time at SUNY Delhi?
