Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication

Originating on the Stanford campus, the Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication (SIIC) is in its 25th year of providing professional training and development to thousands of persons who work in multicultural environments throughout the world. Operated by the Intercultural Communication Institute in Oregon, SIIC is characterized by its intensity, relevance to the professional development of participants, balanced emphasis on knowledge and skills, and its inclusive environment.

How we helped

EDS staff teach classes each summer at this Institute on “Foundations of Intercultural Communication” and “Training Design for International and Multicultural Programs.”

“The EDS’ principals who teach at our institute are versatile and knowledgeable and receive enthusiastic reviews every year. That’s not an easy accomplishment when working with as knowledgeable a group—domestic and international—as we attract.”
