Does the institution make cultural competence trainings and activities available to all employees?:
Yes

A brief description of the cultural competence trainings and activities:

The Cultural Competency Certificate Program links the diversity of the university’s student population, creating an experiential shift in values, attitudes and behaviors that will result in a fully engaged workforce. Upon completion of this program, you will be able to leverage your cultural competencies in order to better access new and emerging markets.

Program Curriculum
The curriculum of the Cultural Competency Certificate Program is designed to expand your knowledge and prepare you for professional practice in culturally diverse settings. The curriculum consists of three components: * Cultural Diversity Seminars
* Service Learning
* Learning Portfolio

Cultural Diversity Seminars

Each seminar will educate you in different aspects of various cultures and social justice issues. Since each workshop will benefit various students differently, you are required to attend all cultural diversity seminars offered throughout the academic school year. You are also required to attend at least one Office of Intercultural Relations-sponsored conference.
Service Learning

The service learning component is incorporated into the curriculum as an incentive for you to become more engaged in cultural and social justice issues. This will provide you with an opportunity to see how what you learn during the seminars apply to today’s society, and to provide you cultural competency skills through concrete experience..
