UniDIversity
About the Program
The goal of the guide and the corresponding website is to provide curricular resources that allow you to connect your course objectives and syllabi with the UniDIversity program. We hope that the guide will support your efforts to enhance your classes, enrich students’ exposure to multicultural, international events and issues, facilitate interdisciplinary thinking and scholarship, and provide deepened engagement with contemporary and historical hemispheric issues.
The guide provides a calendar of events, information about guest speakers and artists, suggested readings and web links for individual and classroom use. A PDF copy of the curriculum guide will be available on the CAWC website.
