The Office of Intercultural Education is seeking to build a learning-centered campus community which encourages diversity in all its manifestations as a means to understand an increasingly interconnected national and global environment.
Operating within Academic Affairs, the Office of Intercultural Education recognizes the increasing interaction of peoples from a variety of cultural and social backgrounds and the need for skills to facilitate understanding of those involved.
B-W's faculty incorporated interculturalism into the design of the LAS 150 core course entitled "Enduring Questions in an Intercultural World." This course began in the fall of 2005 and is a common experience required for all new students. The course is designed to provide students with basic intercultural communication skills as they investigate the nature of cultural differences, and their influence on thought processes, values and perceptions in dealing with fundamental human questions. Interested faculty will explore ways to link majors to the core in ways which will reinforce themes introduced in LAS 150 and provide a more in-depth exposure to the skills needed by students in the 21st century.
