CoDaC Consulting Services

 

Our consulting services engage participants at the organizational and professional development levels.

We offer tailored multicultural organizational development consulting experiences for higher education audiences, with focus on campus departments, units, and colleges.

For individuals, we offer professional development consulting to faculty and training services for administrators and staff.

We also offer multicultural organizational and cultural competency development consulting to organizations outside higher education.

 

 
 

The Cultural Competency Project aims to enhance awareness, knowledge, and skills for cultural competency at the professional and organizational levels.

The current project is designed to include 3 4-hour modules (12 total hours) to be completed over a 6-to-8 week period.

The project experience is tailored to the unique culture of the participating campus unit.

Tracks specifically designed for academic or student affairs units are available.

Participation is particularly appropriate for those units that are responsible to:

  • promote positive campus climate
  • advance student access, retention, and leadership efforts
  • provide educational outcomes that prepare students for good global citizenship

MOD - Multicultural Organizational Development

The purpose of MOD (or MCOD) is simple: to make transparent the culture of an organization, and to consciously steer it from being monocultural to multicultural in its values and ways of seeing, doing and thinking.

What makes an organization a multicultural organization? The wisdom and best practices in this field point not just to personnel but to vision, values, action, skills, resources, incentives, and assessment targeted toward multicultural effectiveness. MOD focuses on the importance of developing vision, planning for action, building skills, coordinating resources, providing incentives needed to cultivate multiculturally effective personnel, and evaluating practices and policies for their impact in terms of multicultural organizational development.

CoDaC's MOD consulting services are tailored to the unique culture of the participating organization. Tracks specifically designed for academic or student affairs units are available.

For further information, contact the CoDaC's director, Dr. Mia Tuan.
