马科姆多元文化国际倡议

We seek to educate both 的 college community and Macomb County in 的 importance of recognizing, respecting and ensuring 的 diversity of our changing student and county populations. We pledge to actualize this through international and multicultural programs offering varied educational opportunities to guide Macomb's transformation to a culture of diversity in all facets of college life. Such a goal must characterize any institution of higher learning in a global society, and is worthy of 的 leadership 十大hg体育平台注册 provides for its broader community.

正如Richard Light的 充分利用大学, 学生的多元文化本质, 教师 and staff in an institution of learning becomes a key factor promoting student academic success. 我们理解多样性, 或多元文化主义, 包括性别, 性取向, 种族, 宗教的差异, 文化和阶级差异, as well as those related to physical mobility and age. A culture of diversity enhances 的 range of perspectives shared in classrooms, skills developed in cooperating with those of different customs and values, 以及如何去做的知识.

Diversity is also critical to individuals entering today's global workforce. “在一个日益相互依存的世界, it is essential to foster 的 global and cross-cultural knowledge and understanding necessary for effective U.S. 领导力、竞争力和安全." (NAFSA: Association of International Educators) As informed citizens or competent workers, our future hinges on 的 college's ability to prepare its students and 的 college community with a range of skills and experiences for problem-solving and balanced judgment within a continually changing and pluralistic framework.

Two features will be central to 的 creation and maintenance of a culture of diversity: cultural competency and critical mass. Cultural competency is sensitivity, knowledge, and behaviors applied to cross-cultural situations. Cultural competency applies to students as well as staff, 教师, and administrators by ensuring a process of continuous learning. Critical mass invites increased participation and voice in decision-making of under-represented groups by actively soliciting 的m in hiring practices, 并支持学生的活动. Research shows that all students learn better when 的re is a critical mass of minority groups. (同前, Light) Role models among staff and 教师 play an important part in motivating students to succeed.

We can assume that all wish for student success and economic prosperity within Macomb County and 的 Greater Detroit area. We strive to be an institution where a multicultural global perspective is welcomed, 庆祝和支持! 最后, 在我们努力建立多元文化的同时, this by no means implies a focus only on differences between people. The valuing of diversity provides 的 surest foundation for our unity, 作为一个社区，共同进步和道德行动.
