The Cultural Competency Project aims to enhance awareness, knowledge, and skills
for cultural competency at the professional and organizational levels.
The current project is designed to include 3 4-hour modules (12 total hours) to
be completed over a 6-to-8 week period.
The project experience is tailored to the unique culture of the participating
campus unit.

available.
Participation is particularly appropriate for those units that are responsible
to:
-

access, retention, and leadership efforts
