Mónica Guzmán doesn’t vote the same way as her parents—but they still talk. She’s built a career on asking better questions and finding common ground with people who see the world completely differently. This isn’t about changing minds. It’s about being curious, being brave, and rethinking what we assume about “the other side.” Mónica joins us to talk about how curiosity can unlock the hardest conversations—in the dining hall, in the classroom, and with your parents. Please note: This event is primarily student-focused. Only students will be allowed to ask questions during the Q&amp;A session.This event will not be livestreamed, but all are welcome to attend in person.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the News is a recurring event series dedicated to sparking dialogue among visiting speakers and Colby students from diverse disciplines.
