KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Dr. Ramona Lewis, Faculty Specialist II and Higher Education and Student Affairs Program Coordinator, and Dr. Eric Archer, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership in Higher Education, will showcase their research on intercultural development strategies for college students at two national conferences in Spring 2021. Dr. Lewis will participate in a panel discussion on this topic at the 2021 American College Personnel Association (ACPA) Annual Conference and Dr. Archer will serve on a panel at the 2021 National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Annual Conference both being held virtually in March 2021.
