Community Agreements
We are going to enter spaces where there is potential conflict around areas we don’t agree on, so we want to make sure these are safe spaces.
• Trust your voice and speak with intention
• Create and nurture a safe, brave, and accountable space
• Focus on learning and responsibility, not perfection
• Maintain a space to brainstorm solutions to programming challenges, but not a space to air grievances against TCU leadership and administration
