Understanding and Compassion in Challenging Times
Tritons Belong was created in response to the experiences and concerns that arose following October 7, 2023. During the winter and spring quarters of 2024, the efforts of Tritons Belong focused on "Understanding and Compassion in Challenging Times." UC San Diego offered a series of online and in-person events to help us better understand the current crisis and increase our compassion within our Triton community. Below are the four events which were recorded, and the series introduction by Chancellor Khosla. We invite you to learn more about the issues and topics addressed through the "Understanding and Compassion in Challenging Times" initiative by reviewing the recordings below.
