Why does this add value for students?

As communities have become increasingly diverse and technology has helped to reduce barriers related to time and place, the development of skills to navigate within local, national, and international communities is a top priority for employers. Core competencies related to Intercultural and Global Learning (IGL) + Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) facilitate students’ ability to engage with diverse others across multiple cultural contexts in an open-minded, respectful way that allows them to recognize how culture impacts their own and others’ perspectives and actions and recognize their own agency in advancing equity. 

Learning Outcomes

• Consider, examine, and integrate differences between individual positions and the positions of others in multiple cultural contexts.

• Demonstrate an attitude of inclusion by engaging mindfully across a diversity of lived experiences
