Well, Aaron and I have a plan to improve the exposure to diverse people for ICC Engineering students. We hope to bring students from the widest range of cultures to ICC to enter our program and to bring a teacher from a different background in as well.
One only has to look back to the late 90's when Yuli and Pita came from Indonesia to HCC and entered our engineering program. Pita was there first, then Yuli came just as Pita left. They positively impact all of our lives in many ways. They came from the other side of the world and shared their culture with us as they immersed themselves in our culture.
Just yesterday Aaron and I submitted a grant proposal that would enable us to bring in students and a teacher from different cultures for the next five years. Over the past 20 years I have travelled to many different corners of the globe and have lived in the deep South of this country. Who I am today is shaped very much by all of those experiences. The chance to have people from different places share their lives with us at ICC is something I look very much forward to.
