Practical Diversity; Chronicle of Higher Education, 9/24/10

David Evans, Chronicle of Higher Education; Practical Diversity:

"In the past two years, we have asked them to help us define, for our particular circumstances and context, what skills and competencies our students most need to enhance their professional and personal prospects. In both of these sessions, the advisory council's clearest consensus developed around students' need to develop skills in working with people of differing backgrounds and cultures. What is often called intercultural competence, in other words, is for the members of the advisory council on a par with communication skills, critical thinking, work ethic, and integrity as a desired goal for prospective employees."
