THE CENTER FOR INTERCULTURAL EXCELLENCE

CELEBRATING CULTURAL UNIQUENESS: THE INITIATIVE

Under the leadership of Dr. Schumacher, in 2016 Tiffin University embarked on an effort called Celebrating Cultural Uniqueness (CCU), now called CCU@TU. The initiative began as a focus to strengthen our approach to diversity and inclusion in order to be able to foster a culture of openness to diversity of thought and this action was not because we were not already promoting diversity, but because we could do better and our student body of which approximately 44% are either domestically and globally diverse, deserve this. TU administrators, faculty, staff, and students wanted to show a strong attitude for embracing, welcoming, and celebrating diversity and inclusion and, moreover, become known internally and externally as an institution that educates, develops, and prepares individuals for the realities of the world in which we live and work.

MISSION OF CELEBRATING CULTURAL UNIQUENESS AT TIFFIN UNIVERSITY

Our commitment fosters inclusive excellence through celebrating cultural uniqueness in an environment that is welcoming, understanding of different perspectives, affirming, and safe for all populations. The collaborative strategic alignment of the Councils for Academic Experience, Expansion of Opportunity, and Talent & Engagement cultivates the opportunity to support and maintain an educational and working environment that promotes a commitment to inclusive excellence.

The initiative has grown into a commitment and now encompasses both internal and external cultural competency education and training, an updated and relevant TU student curriculum, and student programming around these topics. The next phase is to start a Center to house and build on these endeavors.

CELEBRATING CULTURAL UNIQUENESS: THE CENTER FOR INTERCULTURAL EXCELLENCE

We made a commitment in 2016 and have far exceeded our goals. Not only do we graduate culturally competent students, but we have trained our faculty and staff, hosted phenomenal speakers, and created our own internal and external training programs. Furthermore, we have developed a curriculum that doesn't just benefit Tiffin University, but other organizations as well. The next step is to create and staff a Center to centralize and manage all of these facets and to continue to develop and grow our initiatives and strategic goals.
