Goals• Go beyond sharing introductory information
• Share something relatively personal yet safe
• Start talking around identity and difference
• Foster a stronger sense of belonging
What’s In A Name?
• One person speaking at a time
• What may be displeasing to you may be pleasurable to me
• Every person has value, something to share and something to learn; therefore, listen up!
• Let people speak their truth and believe them when they speak it.
• Give folks the benefit of the doubt.
• People make mistakes. No-one’s perfect.
• When you misspeak or are offended by another person’s comments, talk to the person.
• Embrace your time at Wharton as a stretch experience
Keep in Mind…
In your group, have everyone go around and introduce yourself, but with providing the history of your name, spending no more than about a minute or two per person.
Specifically, answer the following questions:
• Where did you get your name from?
• Were you named after anyone? If so, who? And what does that person mean to you?
• What do you love about your name?
• What are some things that frustrate you about your name, if any?
• What does your name mean to you?
• What are some misconceptions, if any, about your name?
