This paper describes our implementation of a conversation series focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within an existing National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. While many REU programs actively recruit diverse participants, few include instructional time dedicated to DEI topics. Here, we share a curriculum of DEI conversations aimed at a diverse audience and reflect on the success of the program based on participant feedback. Additionally, we provide a detailed facilitation guide to ease implementation of the course.
