Program: Lisa D'Aunno from the University of Iowa presented a program on cultural competence. She was also happy to note that the University has a $3 million grant to improve water sustainability around the world. She noted that we all have a culture. We can be different races with different backgrounds and that means history to history also. We need cultural humility ... this means we listen to learn about others. She used the # 9 which depending upon how it is viewed can also be#6. We need to listen to one another to understand one another culturally.
