As a sociologist, Aliyah Turner is no stranger to tough conversations—she’s “in the business of difficult dialogue.” But after attending the Faculty Institute, she’s doubling down on that work and bringing new insights back to DePauw University, where she’s leading professional development workshops for her colleagues.
