Multicultural Relations Course

A group of nine ESL students led by Program Director, Lilia Moyer, visited the EDU 30303 Multicultural Relations course taught by Professor Sangeeta Gulati. During a one-hour small group gathering, American and international students exchanged cultural traditions regarding food, holidays, family relationships, and attractions in their native countries. This event allowed international students to step into the role of experts in their cultures and gain confidence in their ability to communicate in English. American students, on the other hand, learned about different cultures from experts during informal interactions. The University of Rio Grande has many international students who are proud of their cultures but are also eager to learn about American culture. This is the second year that Professors Moyer and Gulati have collaborated to help these two communities interact and promote a more unified environment on campus.
