Cultural Competence Advisory Board (CCAB) Events
CCAB is comprised of area K-12 educators and faculty of the
College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) at the
University of Minnesota. Based on a collaborative model, these
two groups meet together four times each academic year for the
purpose of creating and continuing dialogue on topics of
cultural and intercultural competence with the goal of
positively impacting all levels of education.
