InclusiviTeas: A Community Dialogue Series on Belonging

Beginning in Fall 2025, join us for the InclusiviTeas series—a gathering where campus and community members come together over tea and conversation to explore what inclusion and belonging look like at the University of Richmond.

Each 60–75-minute session highlights topics shaping our collective journey—such as Shared Equity Leadership, Inclusive Excellence, the Inclusive Community Council, the Community of Practice, and the ways our strategic plan guides the work.

Some sessions feature focused themes, while others create space for open dialogue about what’s on your mind. Whether you’re curious, committed, or simply looking to connect, InclusiviTeas is your invitation to listen, learn, and lend your voice to building a relentlessly welcoming community.

A welcoming space where students, employees, and community members come together to learn, connect, and celebrate the many ways inclusion and belonging come alive at the University of Richmond.

To nurture a community where everyone has a place at the table—and a voice in the conversation.

This year’s three InclusiviTeas will invite the University community into a series of conversations about what it means to be part of a community—and what we ask of ourselves and one another when we say “We, the People.”

Across the year, the conversations will build on one another, moving from exploring our understanding and experience of community, to considering how we engage across differences within community, and ultimately to what it means to contribute to and take responsibility for the communities we share.

We, the People: What Does It Mean to Be in Community?

Our first InclusiviTea of the year will ground our community conversation by inviting us to consider what it means to be in community—not simply to belong to one.

This gathering will also introduce The Big Table, an InclusiviTea experience designed to bring members of the University community into conversation with people they may or may not already know. Seated together at long tables, participants will have opportunities to talk with those beside them and across from them—to listen, make connections, and consider what becomes possible when we intentionally create space to reach across our differences.
