Does the institution make cultural competence trainings and activities available to all students?:
A brief description of the cultural competence trainings and activities:
Colby offers several activities/opportunities each semester for cultural competency training. These are open to all students and Colby community members.
Through the Pugh Center: Diversity, Dialogue, and Dinner (events which focus on a topic and explore that experience in an effort to promote cultural competency). Diversity Peer Education Teams. Through Faculty Allies Program: OutAllies Training for LGBTQ allies, and the “Do This and Not That” booklet and presentations. New academic credit offering: a Multicultural Literacy course was taught during January term 2012. There were 4 sections with a total of 80 students. Goal: to expand this on a yearly basis to eventually serve every first year student who wants to take it. Colby is also in the fifth year of Campus Conversations on Race (CCOR), a program in which trained students lead student-only small group discussions around issues of race and ethnicity. The conversations also expand to cover all aspects of difference and oppressions, such as gender, sexuality, and socio-economic class. About 125 students participate yearly as group members, and Colby trains about 20 new facilitators a year to lead these discussions. Everyone is welcome to participate.
