Join the Advisor Training and Development team for a viewing of the NACADA Webinar: Bringing Cultural Humility to Academic Advising (DW107). A follow-up discussion will immediately follow the completion of the webinar.
This is an in-person viewing/discussion held on the Main Campus. Location TBD.
Webinar Description: Join us to hear Blane Harding, Director of Diversity Engagement (Retired) for the Virginia Tech Office of Inclusion and Diversity, discuss what he has learned over the years about the difference between cultural competence and cultural humility. The construct of cultural competence assumes that one can learn or know enough, that cultures are monolithic, and that one can reach a full understanding of a culture to which they do not belong. In contrast, cultural humility encourages ongoing personal reflection and growth around culture in order to increase awareness and introspection. Cultural humility encourages lifelong learning with no end goal but rather an appreciation of the journey of growth and understanding. You will learn from Blane how practicing cultural humility allows individuals to appreciate the journey of growth and provides avenues to disrupt inequitable systems in higher education.
