Several discussions in the department highlighted the need to increase our sophistication around multicultural issues in our graduate and undergraduate instruction. We wanted to be sure that our graduate students were prepared to address multicultural content and reach students of all backgrounds, both when they taught as graduate students at UNL and in future careers that might involve teaching. Also, we became aware that some members of the faculty were interested in enhancing their sophistication around multicultural issues in the classroom but were unsure how to proceed. When the College of Arts and Sciences offered an Instructional Enhancement Grant, Deb Hope, Rick Bevins, and Scott Stoltenberg developed an application to meet these needs. This grant also was one of the cornerstones of the Department’s overall commitment to diversity as expressed in our self-study report as part of the Academic Program Review process that occurred this past year.
