The world becomes more diverse from day to day. One problem that currently presents itself is educating people on cultural differences and diversity. The purpose of this study was to examine a training session conducted by the NCBI to improve a Residential Assistant’s knowledge, skills, and awareness of cultural competency. The training session discussed and examined a variety of topics such as internalized oppression, externalized oppression and effectively communicating with people of other backgrounds. The Resident Assistants were from the University of Iowa. Resident Assistants took the surveys before and after the training. Findings displayed that Resident Assistants reported being more culturally competent after the training in areas of awareness, knowledge, and skills. Therefore, the training created a useful tool of enhancing each participant understanding of cultural differences"
