Testimonials & Case Studies
See what organizations like yours have to say.
Athelene A. Collins, Executive Director, Hofstra Cultural Center, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY
"It opens up the door for more conversation, and allows one to see a bias from different perspectives without actually pointing a figure at one particular person."
Phyllis A. H. Breland, Director, Opportunity Programs, Interim Director Diversity & Inclusion, Hamilton College, Clinton, NY
"The Defamation Experience should be a part of any college curriculum; one of the most unique learning experiences that I have witnessed and participated in. It stays with you."
Tyler Fisher, Associate Resident Director (graduate student), Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, IL
"By having a role from the beginning of the performance to ultimately determining the verdict, Defamation brings light to major current issues while allowing the audience to feel like they are living the case."
President Mark McCoy, DePauw University, Greencastle, IN
"A powerful and thought-provoking evening."
Tessa Henderson, Associate Dean of Student Equity, City College of San Francisco, Ocean Campus, San Francisco, CA
"The DEFAMATION EXPERIENCE was a great professional development event that included dialogue and support to engage in a conversation about race, class and gender. It was a great way to initiate diversity, race and equity conversations through college-wide professional development efforts."
Gia M. Adeen, Assistant Director, EEO & Diversity, Case Western University, Cleveland, OH
"We have many social justices related programs and conversations on campus around these issues but THE DEFAMATION EXPERIENCE was such a fresh new way to engage in the dialogue we want our students to be having. Thank you!"
Ty Furman, Managing Director, BU Arts Initiative, Boston University, Boston, MA
"The conversation after the play is what sets this experience apart and allows the audience to think through what they have seen performed on the stage. This interactive piece allowed students on our campus to parse through their initial response(s) and to confront their own biases and experiences."
Brian Stutz, Assistant Director for Student Leadership, Ball State University, Muncie, IN
"Defamation at Ball State was a great experience for our campus community. It is entertaining, educational, and very interactive. The conversations that were had after the event were thought provoking and inclusive. Students were able to be transparent about their own biases and it was an eye-opening moment for many of them! We would recommend The Defamation Experience to all colleges and Universities."
Jay T. Hairston, Associate Diversity Officer and Director, Center for Inclusion, Baldwin Wallace University, Berea, OH
"You could feel the passion in the voices of those who shared their thoughts and feelings in an environment meticulously crafted by the cast and facilitators to foster better understanding, respect and affirmation of lived experiences . In light of what is going on in our nation today, Defamation Experience is not only a 'must see' event, it is a 'must experience' event. I highly recommend it!"
Dr. Clifford Moon, Coordinator of Diversity & Inclusion, Tempe Union High School District, Tempe, AZ
"The performance brought about the opportunity for self and institutional introspection in recognizing that people bring value to our organization, that people deserve respect and dignity, that we value the richness that comes from our diverse cultures, and that we benefit and learn from the voices of our diverse community."
Nate Gleiner, English Teacher, Chair, Equity & Justice Team, The Seven Hills School, Richmond, VA
"The program inspired students and faculty to wrestle with deeply important issues in meaningful ways. Conversations catalyzed by the visit have continued and helped to set the tone for further valuable work related to diversity and equity. In myriad ways, The Defamation Experience marked a turning point for our community."
Dr. Timothy M. Johnson, Head of School, Pingree School, South Hamilton, MA
"Students were captivated through all three parts: the Play, the Deliberation, and the Discussion, and participated respectfully in an open discussion of preference, prejudice, and the "it depends" gray in between. The two hours spent together yesterday morning were meaningful and important to our mission-driven work to think critically and reflectively."
