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 President's Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP) is a University of Minnesota program which seeks applicants whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to fostering inclusion at the University. 

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.
