Modeled after The William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation’s The Welcome Table program, the South Carolina Collaborative on Race and Reconciliation (SCCRR) with its premier program, The Welcome Table SC, will engage internal and external University community members by creating spaces for healthy dialog about race and thoughtful actions that lead toward the reconciliation and healing of racial and other social differences in both the university community and communities across South Carolina.
In May of 2016, 10 faculty members were selected to receive the first Dialogues in Race and Reconciliation Fellowship and trained as facilitators for the Welcome Table SC. During the fall semester of 2016, facilitators worked with five groups through phase one (which consists of six meetings and a two-day retreat) of the program.

Emphasis will be placed on strategies for teaching about various social identities (such as race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, and disabilities) and helping students build their capacity to recognize and address discriminatory practices and take reflective action. A key theme will be facilitating students in living the Carolinian Creed.
