The Research Center for Cultural Diversity and Community Renewal (CDCR) was established in the fall of 1998 at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. CDCR is dedicated to developing and promoting a renewed vision for achieving a harmonious and socially just community through education. CDCR’s two main initiatives are Project Teach and Project Forward. Both of these career ladder programs fund students of Hmong descent who want to become educators. Currently, CDCR is providing funding and training for numerous undergraduate and graduate students at several UW System institutions. Alumni of the program include several educators and administrators working in Wisconsin and the surrounding states.

A Message from the Director

dr.aliWelcome to the Research Center for Cultural Diversity and Community Renewal (CDCR) at UW-L. CDCR is a unique place that brings together students, community members, faculty and staff from across the state. Fundamental to
our mission is the promotion of social justice through education.  CDCR works hard to cultivate an environment that is welcoming to all.  We are also dedicated to the personal and professional development of our students.  CDCR is more than just an office; it is an inclusive community of people interested in ensuring culturally responsive education for all children. I am deeply honored to be a part of this undertaking.
