Workshop at Penn State Abington to take diversity to the real world

Describing the value of Penn State Abington's upcoming Diversity 2.0 workshops on June 19 and 20, Assistant Professor Ross Brinkert notes that most organizations are ready to take diversity theory to the real world.

"Participants will come away with a sharper idea of their existing strengths when it comes to working with diversity," comments Brinkert in a podcast on the Abington website, adding that "Participants can expect to come away with some cutting-edge ideas for working with others, especially for leading others."

The Diversity 2.0 workshop, a new offering at Penn State Abington, will include valuable sessions with interactive presentations, discussions, assessments and action plans for:

--integrating diversity into strategic planning
--cultural intelligence and leadership
--intercultural communication styles
--supervisor and supervisee: bridging the communication gap
--how gender and generation affect communication
--managing change with diverse participants

The workshop is part of Penn State Abington's Center for Intercultural Leadership & Communications (CILC) program.  For more information about CILC or diversity training workshops, go to www.abington.psu.edu/psasite/ce/cilc.htm online.
