What is Cultural Humility? According to the National Institutes of Health, it is “a lifelong process of self-reflection and self-critique whereby the individual not only learns about another's culture, but one starts with an examination of her/his own beliefs and cultural identities.”
Congratulations to the following RIT colleagues. They earned a Cultural Humility Certificate after taking part in a half dozen workshops led by Taj Smith, director of Diversity Education. He says most of these workshops take at least a year to complete.
