CILMAR selects fellows for faculty-staff Growing Intercultural Leaders program

Purdue’s Center for Intercultural Learning, Mentorship, Assessment and Research (CILMAR) has selected fellows for its Growing Intercultural Leaders program. This professional development opportunity asks faculty or staff to set personal goals for their own intercultural development and professional goals that will help them nurture intercultural growth in students or in others they teach, mentor and/or advise.

The program can be entered at one of three levels, each of which calls for a commitment of one year and comes with a different set of expectations and funding. Each fellow is supported by meetings with a mentor and other learning opportunities.

The 2021-22 GIL fellows:

Level 1: Constance Kaspar Wise, College of Science; Michael Mutti, Department of English; Margaret Sorg, School of Nursing; Rachel Swank, College of Pharmacy.

Level 2: Sharon Borkowski, School of Languages and Cultures; Jazmine Clifton, Student Success; Dawn Stinchcomb, School of Languages and Cultures.

Level 3: Lata Krishnan, Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences.

More details about the GIL program, including the three levels, can be found on the CILMAR website.
