      During Spring Quarter 2003, BC Faculty and staff attended a workshop on defining best practices for teaching pluralism.

      This workshop, funded by a Cultural Diversity Grant from the Washington State Library, brought together instructors from many different disciplines to discuss these critical issues. Instructors are encouraged to use and adapt assignments that were developed during this workshop.
