Level 1 targets people who are relatively new to thinking about frameworks for intercultural learning, who seek to grow personally in this area, and who wish to explore how to cultivate intercultural growth in their students and/or in faculty/staff they mentor. CILMAR supports this level with mentoring and $500. Learn more here.
GIL is a professional development opportunity for faculty and staff designed to cultivate the intercultural leadership skills that will move Purdue -- West Lafayette* toward more inclusion, equity and belonging.
GIL provides three levels of support for faculty and staff who work as teachers, mentors and advisors with students and/or with other faculty and staff on campus.
Each level calls for a commitment of a minimum of one academic year.
Read about each level above. You are also invited to contact Aletha Stahl.
At each level, GIL fellows set goals in two tracks – personal and professional development – and pursue a project related to their position and their professional goal. For ideas (not required) of personal goals, consult the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence VALUE Rubric, the Champlain College Competency Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion rubric, and the Intercultural Leadership Matrix.
Participants are supported by meetings with a mentor, other activities and opportunities, and professional development funds distributed upon program completion. Their end-of-year reflections, reports and research submissions demonstrate progress toward their goals and serve as a resource to others interested in developing intercultural leadership.
The application cycle for the 2022-23 academic year was closed March 21, 2022.
The number of applicants accepted into the program varies according to the number of requests for support and available funding. Applications are reviewed by a committee and evaluated based on qualifications, motivation, and impact as outlined on the GIL Application Rubric. Please contact Senior Intercultural Learning Specialist Dr. Aletha Stahl at stahl23@purdue.edu with any questions.

Per the recommendations of the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA) Transparency Framework and the NILOA Excellence in Assessment Standards, we provide the goals for each program offered through CILMAR.
75% of GIL Fellows will achieve the stated learning for their level in 4 of the 6 target domains on the Intercultural Leadership Matrix: wellbeing, self-awareness, theoretical foundations, assessment and integration of learning, reflection, ownership/self-directed learning. This achievement will be determined by CILMAR staff as evidenced by a final reflection, mentor notes, and, according to level, artifacts such as a syllabus, presentation, white paper, published article, student work, etc.
