Does the institution make cultural competence trainings and activities available to all students?:
A brief description of the cultural competence trainings and activities:
Multicultural Learning Office Programs:
The Office for Multicultural Learning seeks to cultivate a campus environment that supports diverse perspectives and dialogues among individuals from varied cultural backgrounds, social classes, religious traditions, sexual orientations, disability groups, and genders.
Their goal has been to provide support for a variety of initiatives. Though varied in their target and focus, each program serves to link, highlight, or recognize differences among groups while asserting the essential unity of human experience and need. Intergroup dialogues are encouraged, not to eliminate difference, but understand and appreciate the richness multiple cultures bring to campus. These include Asian/Pacific Month, Black History Month, Chicano/ Latino Heritage Month, Difficult Dialogue with Faculty, and Dine and Discuss events.
Perspectives:
Perspectives is a three part diversity experience designed for students to foster an inclusive community at Santa Clara University. The 'Social Change Model' is the foundation for Perspectives developed by the Peer Educator committees on Diversity and Inclusive Excellence. A broad definition for diversity will be used, which includes individual and group traits such as; personality, learning style, racial/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. Over 700 students have gone through Perspectives workshops over the past 3 years.
