Widener welcomed Philadelphia-based National Public Radio affiliate WHYY to campus for a Bridging Blocks program in the University Center. WHYY Community Convener Brisa Castro facilitated the discussion attended by about 50 students, which considered the practice of book banning. Students, who attended through their roles as Maguire Scholars, Pride Service Site Leaders, or Bonner Scholars, watched a video, shared reactions to the topic and debated the subject in small group discussions.

Bridging Blocks is a partnership between WHYY and the Free Library of Philadelphia that fosters civil dialogue and understanding among diverse participants.
