Diversity & Inclusion Workshop 1

Chet Thompson Associate Dean, School of Business, Arts, Sciences, and Technology (BAST)Community College of Beaver County

Cultural Competency seeks to educate and train all levels of staff on the skills and competencies that enable employees, students and educators, community members, and others to interact effectively/positively in cross-cultural situations. Today more than ever we must embrace our differences.  This is truly the only we will evolve as a species.  If it is not for ourselves but more importantly for our children’s children.
