Culture and Communication: Perception, Understanding, and Connection

This session will help participants engage across difference by learning about ways in which our culture(s) inform our understanding of ourselves and each other, as well as how to improve our intercultural communication. This interactive session includes opportunities for individual exploration and relational skill building. Participants will be invited to think about how each of us forms our understandings, and how we can understand how others do as well. With increased understanding, participants will be invited to practice communication strategies to be thoughtful and effective in their interactions and relationships in the workplace.  Participants should be prepared to engage in discussion in this session.

Facilitated by: Leigh-Anne Royster, Ph.D., Associate Vice President for Strategy and Education Development & Elizabeth Jones, Ph.D., Director for Education and Outreach
