A brief description of the cultural competence trainings and activities:
Wartburg provides cultural competence training during new student orientation in the fall, and as part of residential programming.
Throughout the year Wartburg College hosts several poverty simulations. The poverty simulation is meant to help sensitize participants to the struggles people in poverty face on a daily basis. During the simulation, participants role-play the lives of low-income families, from single parents trying to care for their children to senior citizens trying to maintain their self-sufficiency on Social Security. Time is represented by four 15-minute periods, each representing one week. The task of each family is to provide food, shelter and other basic necessities during the simulation while interacting with various community resources. Afterward, participants and staffers conduct a debriefing. https://www.wartburg.edu/povertysim/
Martin Luther King Jr. week is an important event on our campus. Throughout the week we not only talk about service, but also diversity and civil rights. Activities are held throughout the week to increase awareness of the basic civil liberties Dr. King worked to make accessible to everyone.
