Have you wondered how to bring CILMAR to serve as a keynote speaker or to provide consulting expertise on topics pertaining to intercultural or global learning? Making the request is as simple as sending a quick email to cilmar@purdue.edu with your needs (for example, event details such as place, time, topic, etc.). We would also love to know how you learned about CILMAR and if there is a particular member of the CILMAR team you have in mind.

We offer our services on a cost-recovery, sliding-scale basis. We are also willing to negotiate reduced rates in return for partnering to promote the Intercultural Learning Hub (HubICL) open access science gateway of resources for intercultural professionals.
