Set Goals: Research
Research is an overarching goal of the Center for Intercultural Teaching and Learning (CITL) to investigate the dynamics behind the changing ethnic composition of a rural Midwest community and its implications for higher education, studying the nature and/or process of intercultural teaching and learning.
Rationale
We believe that education needs to evolve to better serve all students, particularly minorities. To understand what changes are necessary requires research, which we then use to develop curriculum, which we then implement in the classroom.
