If you were a 1st year student in the fall, you likely took the Intercultural Development Inventory. During TE 102 this year, Katie Denzin, presented to our classes and discussed why you take this inventory and how it specifically impacts you as future educators of diverse populations.

She is offering 1 on 1 meetings to discuss your personal results. If you choose to do this, please let me know so it can count toward a UECP event for the year.
