Cultural Competence Advisory Board (CCAB), 2007-2008

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.
