Improving student intercultural competence
在威斯康星大学欧克莱尔分校, we believe that providing opportunities to engage in intercultural experiences outside the classroom offers students the opportunity to challenge and transform their perspectives regarding cultural norms and values. Within the framework of a guided, critically-reflective intercultural experience, and through dialogue and relationship building, students become more aware of multiple perspectives.
In fact, UW-Eau克莱尔 believes so strongly in the value of intercultural experiential learning, every full-time tuition-paying undergraduate UW-Eau克莱尔 student automatically receives Blugold Funding support to participate on one international, 国内, and research-based Immersion experience. Students receive anywhere from hundreds to thousands dollars of Blugold Funding support to participate on a UW-Eau克莱尔 Immersion program. The amount of Blugold Funding support is dependent upon the type of program offered.
Immersion programs may take you down the block, 全国各地, or to the other side of the world. Some last only a week or two, while others may immerse you for well over a month. Whichever option you choose, you will gain a new perspective and be forever changed by the people you meet, 你看到和做的事情, and the new perspectives you will gain.

Immersion experiences offer you the affordable opportunity chance to travel near and far, exploring history and community alongside your peers and faculty.

The work we accomplished while in Puerto Rico made me feel so fulfilled not only because we were learning from the people of Puerto Rico, but because we were able to give to them with our service.
