All SIA students are highly encouraged to attend the next anti-bias and diversity training workshop facilitated by Dr. Shakoor Ward with the Penn State Affirmative Action Office on Tuesday, September 8th from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. via Zoom. This program is designed to address the realities of living and working in an increasingly global society where understanding other cultures is often an essential component of organizational success. Participants are encouraged to explore their feelings and perceptions of cultures other than our own in an effort to develop effective strategies to promote intercultural awareness and acceptance. This session focuses on developing intercultural competence and an awareness of personal cultural lenses.
