Intercultural competency is an absolutely necessary tool to live and work effectively in today’s interconnected world.  This one hour and a half Study Abroad Intercultural Effectiveness Session's objectives are to increase students’ understanding and awareness of cultural differences and to provide them with a set of essential skills that will enhance their global competencies and effectiveness.  We hope to accomplish these via discussions, group activities, and thought experiments.
