Assignment: Multicultural Panel (Part Four)
Module 2 Week 7 includes the Multicultural Panel (Part Four) Assignment. At this point, you have been
introduced to the diverse panel of counselors, counselor education doctoral students, and counselor
educators. For Week 7, panelists will continue sharing their stories, specifically focusing on gender
and affectional orientation. Panelists will identify how their identities intersect and how this impacts
their cultural identity, development, and worldview. Panelists will share their experiences with racism,
discrimination, sexism, power, privilege, and oppression.
Directions for Assignment:
Consider how watching the entire four-part series of the Multicultural Panel
has impacted your
stereotypes, perceptions, and beliefs of the panelists. Reflect on your initial reactions when you first
met each panelist. We each have our own worldview, and this impacts how we see others. As

Week 7 Quiz
Why did you choose this experience? How has this experience impacted you emotionally?
Describe at least two ways in which this experience has impacted your ability to encompass cultural
competence in counseling.
Discuss at least two ways in how this experience changed your worldview related to oppression,
discrimination, power, or privilege.
Discuss how you could infuse social justice advocacy in your work as a counselor, based on your
cultural immersion experience. Consider advocacy based on the environment you plan to work in
(i.e., community mental health, school, private practice, etc.). For example, if you chose to attend a
LGBTQ+ Pride Festival and you are a school counselor, you might consider starting a Gender and
Sexualities Alliance (GSA) or a Sexuality and Gender Alliance (SAGA) at the school you work for.
Or, if you chose to volunteer at a homeless shelter and are a mental health counselor, you might
consider advocating for low-income housing.
Remember to review the rubric, which can be found in Week 9 along with the requirements for the
Cultural Immersion Project. You are also encouraged to visit the Walden Writing Center
for support
with your graduate-level APA writing.
