Descriptions of Cultural Bridges Workshops
Exploring Your Cultural Lens
In this workshop participants will learn about the ADDRESSING and Big 10+ cultural models. Participants will have an opportunity to explore and apply these models to understand more about themselves and others. Intercultural literacy skills will also be introduced and participants will have an opportunity to practice.
Supporting First-Generation College Students at MSU
In this workshop participants will learn what first-generation college student (FGCS) actually means as well as current national and local trends and best practices to better support FGCS at MSU. A student panel of FGCS will provide an opportunity to hear and learn directly about student experiences. Participants will leave this workshop with a better understanding of who FGCS are and their experiences as well as how to best serve them in their roles at MSU.
Supporting Veteran Students at MSU
Participants will learn about MSU Veterans Services and its services to students at MSU, trends in the post 9/11 era, and how these trends are affecting the veteran student body at MSU. A student panel of veterans and dependents will provide an opportunity to hear and learn directly about student experiences. Participants will also complete a military beliefs self-assessment to increase awareness of their perceptions and learn how to better support the intellectual and personal growth of our student veterans.
