A brief description of the cultural competence trainings and activities:
Cultural competency is expected of all employees at Goshen College and is a factor included in our employee appraisal process. Many opportunities to develop intercultural competencies are provided to employees, including web-based programs, trips to engage cultural learning exhibits, and specific anti-racism training programs, to name a few. Employees annual evaluations include measurements on their activities related to these goals.
Goshen College offers opportunities for Faculty to attend concerts, theatrical shows (Peace Plays), convocations and other lectures on status and inequality such as the lectures during the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, video series discussing issues such as poverty and corresponding health effects, and learning languages to communicate better with students that come from varying backgrounds. Goshen College sends a bulletin to faculty with schedules of events that they can attend.
