Preparing Culturally Aware Leaders for a Multicultural World

The UNE 多元化领导徽章 program is a co-curricular leadership development opportunity for all students designed to increase your awareness about multicultural and social justice issues. The program also provides you with opportunities for experiential learning with diverse communities. Participants who complete the 20+ hour semester-long program receive a 多元化领导徽章.

This badge is offered through the UNE徽章计划. Participants who successfully complete the program receive a micro-credential (or badge). Your badge can be added to LinkedIn, included on a resume, or a co-curricular transcript.
