Evaluation
of Cultural Enrichment Through
an Examination and Celebration of World Cultures
introduction
It
is our hope that the activities and educational
materials made possible by World Cultures grants,
will continue to play a vital role in promoting
educational equity and an increased awareness and
appreciation of ethnic, gender, environmental and
multi-cultural diversity. The mandate given by a
joint administrative and faculty committee
establishing the World Cultures program was to
enhance the diversity of San Diego City College's
curriculum and campus life.

program
Each
semester, our program presents opportunities to
enrich our campus learning environment by
soliciting requests for grants. These grants
offer unique opportunity for members of the
college community to share their knowledge and
learn together the value of multi-cultural
diversity and its comprehensive effect upon every
aspect of our lives. Speakers, multi-media
presentations, exhibits, concerts, debates and
dramatic performances are but a few examples of
the special events supported by our grants. In
addition, these grants are used to purchase
books, videotapes and other educational materials
that promote a greater understanding and
appreciation of ethnic, gender, and
multi-cultural issues. These resources are made
available to the faculty and the general student
body, in an effort to diversity and enrich the
campus curriculum.

proposals
Successful
grant proposals have resulted in funding for
on-campus speakers, musical performances, written
and audio-visual resources that served to enhance
the ethnic, gender, environmental and
multi-cultural diversity of existing library
collections, and for discounted student tickets
to dramatic productions at Theatres such as the
Old Globe and the San Diego Repertory. All those
interested in submitting a grant proposal are
encouraged to apply as early as possible. Any
SDCC faculty, staff or department representative
wishing to enhance his or her curriculum or to
promote an on or off-campus event is eligible to
apply for a grant. Student groups, with the
approval of their designated advisor, may also
apply for grant funds. Individual faculty members
or departments may apply no more than twice in
the same semester. All applications must be
submitted no less than two weeks prior to the
proposed activity or event in order for the
application to be submitted to committee review.
