The Indiana Center for Intercultural Communication was established in 1998 by the IU Board of Trustees as a research and service center in the School of Liberal Arts and IUPUI with the following objectives:

1) to conduct and disseminate research grounded in linguistic principles that improves intercultural communication in the workplace
2) to build a computerized text bank of professional discourse, including business and fund raising discourse, to facilitate intercultural communication and workplace training
3) to foster interdisciplinary IU and IUPUI faculty research on topics applied to intercultural communication
3) to provide innovative model workshops and proprietary materials for intercultural communication training for local, national, and international clients

The mission of the Center is consistent with IUPUI's vision as one of the best urban universities with a mission for excellence in teaching, research, and civic engagement; with each of the core activities characterized by collaboration, commitment to diversity, and pursuit of best practices.
