a. an increased sensitivity to diverse multicultural U.S. histories

b. an ability to interact respectfully and productively with diverse populations

c. a self-understanding through transformative self-reflection

d. the skills necessary to design and institutionalize cultural competent policies and practices within organizations such as businesses, schools, health services, social services, and more
