ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

During Spring 2014 I continued to lead the process of developing programs sponsored by the International and Diversity Institute at the School of Education that benefit college wide diversity services and attract multicultural undergraduate and graduate students.

- Research

- Help to build innovative Study Abroad programs

- Collaborate with chairs and faculty across the campus to develop a vision for

diversifying the curriculum that aligns individual program needs
IDI will provide Dowling College with one of the most dynamic and productive, internationally-oriented schools of education in the world. IDI will be comprised of Affiliated Faculty and Graduate Students associated with the School of Education.

Organizational Goals
IDI will accomplish its mission by focusing its strategic activities toward the achievement of five major goals:
