Student Learning Goals:
1. Students will develop a deeper understanding of their own cultures as well as those of others; they will develop skills in communicating across cultural differences.
2. Students will gain knowledge in the ways that power and privilege affect the lived experiences of people from a variety of backgrounds.
3. Students will be exposed to opportunities and resources that will support them as successful students and lifelong learners.
