Pre-Conference Seminar
Developing Faculty Intercultural Competency and Communication Skills
The purpose of this Teaching Section workshop is to provide ARNOVA members with a professional development opportunity in the area of intercultural competency and communication. Specifically, this workshop is designed to improve participants knowledge and skills in order to better prepare them to teach on issues of cultural diversity and to enhance their ability to meet the needs of their diverse students. Using a framework by Dr. Milton Bennett known as the Developmental Model for Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS), participants will be invited to take a journey with the presenter that explains how ones experiences of difference contribute to his or her own orientations toward cultural difference and commonality. The DMIS model will be introduced. Aggregate data from the Teaching Sections pilot intercultural competence development initiative will be presented to demonstrate a mapping exercise of the pilot participants aggregate experiences of difference along the intercultural development continuum. Information on how one can further enhance her or his intercultural competency depending on ones experience will also be introduced.

Pre-Conference Seminar
Philanthropy: Self-Serving Narcissism or Kindly, Moral Act?
Is philanthropy an act with moral overtones---for instance, the love of mankind, involving an active effort to promote the well-being of others? OR: Can, or should, philanthropy be reduced more simply to a financial gift/grant transaction? Does the source of the funding really matter (ill-gotten gains?) or the motivation of the giver (prestige, recognition?).
Philanthropy is complex and involves values, various motivations, economic considerations, and social roles, to name a few factors. The purpose of this session is to provide an opportunity for a thoughtful and extended discussion that can help us question what we may take for granted, in order to come to a better understanding of the concept of philanthropy and its boundaries.
