This panel will feature brief descriptions of two case studies (engaging nursing students in Tanzania and Spanish students in St. Peter, MN), followed by time for small-group reflection and discussion on such questions as: What is transcultural competence and why is it important today? How do you instill and/or facilitate transcultural competence in others? When have you benefitted from transcultural competence? What challenges (related to multiculturalism, cultural education, global engagement, etc.) have you faced, and how have you moved forward?
