Intercultural Education

At Elmhurst, we strive to understand and celebrate human differences. We believe that those differences are critical to our success both as individuals and as communities.

To promote appreciation of others, the CPE sponsors intercultural retreats, intercultural workshops, and leadership training. Elmhurst guestships bring renowned scholars to campus, and our series – such as the popular American Images series – expose students to a variety of ethnic histories. We enjoy creating formal and informal opportunities for students, faculty, and the greater community to learn from each other’s differences.
