We live in an increasingly multicultural world where we regularly encounter and work in teams consisting of people from multiple cultural backgrounds. While multicultural teams have the potential for exceptional innovation and creativity, they face many challenges due to clashing values, norms, and expectations about how teams work. In this talk, Wendi Adair, Associate Professor, Psychology, will review these challenges and summarize recent research and propose alternative metaphors for multiculturalism.
Professor Steven Bednarski, St. Jerome’s University

This year, in an effort to deliver higher quality events and services to the student body, we have put together a panel of industry professionals and local professors that will undoubtedly foster an educated discussion on the intricacies of the global economy and current state of international markets. This event promises to be one that is both thought provoking as well as informative on how the views of academia and the industry both interconnect and diverge.
A lecture presented by The Department of Classical Studies
Prof. Peter Schultz, Concordia College (Moorhead, MN)

Professor Carla Fehr (Philosophy) will discuss evolution and women's lives. Part of the International Women's Week events on and off campus.
