Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands?: Lost in Translation

Workshop Presentation
Marisa Suhm  

Students from Texas will be working in a multicultural world, and will hold important leadership positions, but have little international exposure. This workshop will allow conference participants to experience a cross-cultural competence module, similar to modules experienced by Texas college students. The modules consider cultural lenses, perspectives, bias and areas in which cultures differ. We will review ways to enhance cross-cultural communication and build cultural competence. A discussion will follow, on the importance of this type of education.
