A brief description of the institution’s programs to equip the institution's faculty and staff to better serve students from low-income backgrounds:
Goshen College has established the Center for Intercultural Teaching and Learning on its campus which is a highly respected office with the following task:
Our work is in research, curriculum development and educational access, with the ultimate goal of understanding students’ cultural contexts and how those contexts influence their educational experience. In many ways we serve as a knowledge base, providing recommendations and teaching (and learning) so that we can continue to transform the learning community into one that better supports student success.
We believe that intercultural transformation is necessary to consider education a success. That means students and educators interacting in new ways, which in turn gives them the skills, experience and confidence to transform whatever communities they join. We offer scholarships and grants and conduct research and seminars. We also support the development of the college’s domestic Study-Service Term program.

CITL connects with the Latino population in our broader community, and we also engage students and educators on the Goshen College campus.
