Real Talk @ Friends -
We hope you will join us for Real Talk Friends, an evening for prospective BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) families to engage in conversation and enjoy refreshments with current BIPOC students, parents, faculty, and alumni. The program will include a brief student panel moderated by an alum, as well as allow time for prospective families to speak directly with members of our community about their experiences at Friends.
