What is Cultural Humility, Anyway?
DATE:
Thursday, March 21
TIME:
4:00 pm to 5:00 pm
LOCATION:
Global Hub

You might have heard the words “cultural humility,” but what does that really mean and how do you practice it? Join students, faculty, and administrators for an informal conversation as we reflect on our own global experiences, think together about what this means, and foster a global mindset!

This event will be offered twice, at the below dates and times. It is the same event, just 2 opportunities to engage in the conversation.

Monday, March 18 | 3-4 pm
Thursday, March 21 | 4-5 pm

Reminder: As part of the University Center for International Studies' Year of Discourse and Dialogue initiative, Pitt students are invited to vote by March 20 for their favorite new tagline for the Engagement Wall in the Global Hub. Help us identify a new tagline that better aligns with our institution's commitment to equity and diversity, and embrace a global education at Pitt informed by cultural humility!
