• Networking and professional development opportunities
• Research and scholarship in cultural diversity
• Curriculum and instructional development
• Leadership in cultural diversity, social justice, and equity initiatives

• Help students, educators, and community members acquire the consciousness and competencies they need to communicate and interact effectively within a culturally diverse world and to work toward social justice and equity.
