• Accompany our student Cultural Ambassadors in the development of their programs as requested. Assist students in integrating knowledge, experience, and reflection to address complex academic, personal, and social challenges.
• Collect data that allows for assessing intercultural education and competencies, both on a program-by-program basis and longitudinally.
• Assist with signature programs and oversight of C.I.C.'s daily operations.
