Given the increasing diversity of people in the Fox Valley, Wisconsin, and across America, we have more reason to think about how we communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds.

Dr. Kimberly Barrett, VP of Diversity & Inclusion at Lawrence University, shares the second annual Diversity Report, and talks about what it means to demonstrate cultural competency and how we can cultivate this skill in ourselves and our lives.
