Circle Participant Application
Thank you for your interest in the our Circle Processes, hosted by Housing & Residential Life.

This process will begin the week of Feb 11 and will continue for 8 weeks (not including spring break), ending the week of April 8 (unless otherwise noted on the time options). Each circle will meet once a week for approximately 1.5 hours, though exact length will depend on number of participants.

Circles are a non-judgemental way of sharing stories that help us delve deeper into the experiences of our lives to remember the experiences we have had and to make meaning of them. Prompts for the circles will cover a broad range of topics and allow everyone to share a diverse set of stories, and there will also be a chance to engage in discussion with others in the circle about the topic.

Circles will be facilitated by professional staff members in Housing & Residential Life. Our goal for the circles are a way for women to be in community with other women and speak openly about their experiences in a supportive and caring atmosphere that promotes growth and reflection

Applications are due Thurs, Feb 8 at noon. Applicants will be contacted via e-mail about their participation later that week. Please direct any questions to Jessica Gunzburger at jgunzbur@umn.edu.
