Randolph's Quality Enhancement Plan Stresses Cultural Development

Bridges Not Walls, Randolph’s QEP, stresses intercultural competence, but what does that really mean?

In many practical ways, it’s a continuation of what students at Randolph have been doing for years. That’s because Randolph students, whether they’re Odds or Evens, understand the importance of exploring other cultures as well as their own. They seek out effective ways to communicate in intercultural settings, and value equality, community building and the life-enhancing role of cross-cultural connections.

So when we as a College community talk about Bridges Not Walls, we’re simply talking about promoting the skills, knowledge and values that help us understand each other better.
