OIED Cultural Intelligence Training
OIED is recruiting participants for the initial session of cultural intelligence training on our campus. This initial session is offered at no cost to participants. If you have not attended, please feel free to register. Also, we would like to recruit faculty to participate. Please forward this e-mail to faculty you would recommend.
You are invited to participate in the initial session for cultural intelligence on January 22, 2018, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. Cultural Intelligence (CQ) has become recognized as an important component among Multiple Intelligences. As we move forward in an increasingly global and domestic multicultural world, this distinct opportunity will further advance the professional competency of our faculty and staff. This session will be one offering for faculty and staff to experience as they are introduced to cultural competence.
We hope you will participate in this initial session at no cost and provide feedback. Please register at the link below by December 18, 2018.
