Developing intercultural competence is essential in today’s world, and our ability to navigate cultural differences affects what we accomplish professionally. Intercultural competence has been identified as a critical capability for international student adjustment. Considering this, all Study and Stay™ Capstone students will have the opportunity to complete an Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) assessment and have an individual debrief to help the development of cultural proficiency. EduNova will have licensed IDI-qualified administrators conducting the sessions to facilitate students’ growth in this area.
