Rutgers Diversity Initiative:
Bildner Family Foundation Grant


Other goals and components of the Bildner initiative include:

  • Selection of transcultural fellows from among the faculty who are interested in bridging multicultural theory and practice through existing courses, and relating course work to other disciplines through collaboration
  • An annual summer institute for Transcultural fellows to allow them to hear leading experts in areas relevant to intercultural projects
  • In Camden, the formation of an Intercultural Steering Committee for interdisciplinary dialogue and planning
  • In Newark, the development of new courses and the revision of existing ones, and incorporation of ethnic life histories as an innovative instructional practice. The project will be led by the Institute on Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience in conjunction with the Dean of the Newark Faculty of Arts and Sciences
  • Co-curricular programming, such as lectures, colloquia and cultural events open to the public
  • Development of a Rutgers Intercultural Web site that will serve as a resource for courses and co-curricular programming, and also provide links to relevant sites and a virtual forum fostering communication among students and faculty.
