GOALS
Ensure that all students have access to cross-cultural experiences that lead to enhanced competencies gained through participation in intercultural experiences on campus, in the local community and abroad. Maintain and enhance a diverse and inclusive campus community by furthering students’ understanding of global and diverse perspectives. Create a campus community that prepares all students to be leaders ready to define and solve the problems of a diverse and global society by introducing students to concepts of intercultural competence early in their academic careers.
