Mission Statement
Our mission is to promote international academic experiences to help students become culturally competent in order to succeed in an ever-changing world. It is to provide support for faculty to develop programs in keeping with the UC|21 guiding principle: Cultural Competence.

The culturally competent individual...

1. respects and values a variety of cultures
   
2. understands that differences are normal and knows how to learn more about differences so as to understand and communicate better, and
   
3. welcomes opportunities for cross-cultural interaction, communication.
