Within a university context, intercultural exchanges may highlight misunderstandings, yet offer opportunities for promoting authentic dialogue amongst its community members. This interactive session will provide participants with a foundation in cultural intelligence. Participants will be offered a brave space to identify, then build on cross-cultural knowledge and skills that will assist in effectively adapting to the cultural nuances that make up the vibrant Indiana University community.
