Programs & Initiatives
American Indian Initiatives
CFANS aims to honor Indigenous ways of knowing within teaching and learning spaces and move beyond simply recognizing that our campus resides on ancestral lands of the Dakota community. We seek to deepen our existing ongoing relationship with Indigenous tribal leadership across the state.
CFANS President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
The University of Minnesota President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP) offers postdoctoral research fellowships, professional development, and mentoring to outstanding scholars in all fields. The President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is open to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, or national origin.
Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Initiative
The Intercultural Development Inventory is a tool that measures one's level of intercultural competence as a developmental skill set. Intercultural competence is the ability to adapt behaviors and shift cultural perspectives across cultural similarities and differences.
The IDI is used primarily for presentations, staff development, or as a course requirement. To request IDI codes and/or debrief sessions, please complete this Google Form.
