Research Project: Creating Culturally Competent Measures for Integrated Arts, Literacy and Cultural Identity Curricula Project – Changing Worlds

What attracted me to CURL: I was first attracted to CURL because I realized that if I wanted to work in the non-profit sector, I needed to know how to do research. I was also interested in CURL because it gave me the opportunity to develop and study how to use research practically.

What I hope to gain from CURL: Since working at CURL, I have learnt so much. I have had the opportunity to get behind the scenes and see what makes organizations function, learn how to use research effectively, and most importantly understand what residents in the Chicago area need or what can be improved on. From here on, I hope to gain more critical thinking skills and learn more about research methods.
