Pre-symposium Workshop

What a 21st Century Graduate Should Know and Be Able to Do: Identifying Learning Outcomes That Bridge the Gap between Multicultural Education and Internationalization

This workshop engaged participants in identifying learning outcomes that are addressed by diversity, multicultural education, and internationalization initiatives on U.S. campuses. Participants were guided in mapping the outcomes across curricular or co-curricular learning opportunities at their institutions in order to identify potential areas for enhanced synergy and collaboration. Finally, participants shared assessment practices in use at their institution and how they might be adapted to demonstrate achievement of these learning outcomes. The workshop was facilitated by the following:

  • Dr. Duncan Carter, Professor/Associate Dean of English & Liberal Arts and Sciences, Portland State University
  • Dr. Martha Balshem, Special Assistant to the President for Diversity & Professor, Portland State University
