Cultural Intelligence in Higher Education: Supporting Holistic Student Development

 

As higher education institutions strive to prepare students for global careers and diverse workplaces, Cultural Intelligence (CQ) emerges as a critical differentiator in fostering student success. Join us for a dynamic panel discussion with higher ed leaders who are actively embedding CQ into curricular and co-curricular experiences to enhance holistic student development and career readiness. You’ll learn from Kelsey Dery (Senior Client Consultant, Cultural Intelligence Center), Dr. Maggie Mahoney (Director Global Engagement, Institute for Global Engagement at the University of Houston), and Dr. Cheri DeClercq (Assistant Dean, Graduate Initiatives & Academic Innovation at Michigan State University) as they show you the potential of Cultural Intelligence in today’s world.

Attendees Will:

  • Hear how CQ tools and assessments are applied in real academic and student life contexts.
  • Explore the connection between CQ and global career competencies.
  • Gain actionable ideas for integrating CQ into programs beyond study abroad—across disciplines and departments.
  • Learn from student feedback, data-informed practices, and cross-campus collaborations.
