Location: Microsoft TEAMS
Cultural models are mental models that serve important functions to facilitate communication. But they can also lead to miscommunications, misunderstandings, and blind spots—in spite of our desires to be welcoming and inclusive. Come learn what cultural models are and how developing an awareness of their existence can foster our learning and growth, and ultimately help us be more inclusive. Facilitated by Carrie Zack, Associate Director of Accredidation, Assessment and Evaluation.
This session is a part of the Inclusion in Action series which aims to support effective working relationships among employees at NIU through the sharing of knowledge and resources.
