Our Mission:
"To foster knowledge through teaching and learning, ethics through action and reflection, and equity for diverse communities through advocacy and collaboration".

The Center for Intercultural and Multilingual Advocacy (CIMA) at Kansas State University champions culturally and linguistically sustaining educational practices. Through research, professional development, undergraduate and graduate coursework, and international collaborations, CIMA supports equitable learning for all. Our programs emphasize Biography-Driven Instruction, ESL education endorsements, migrant education, and dual language education.

Micro-credentials to both in-service and pre-service educators coming soon!
