"CULTURAL MODIFICATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL, GROUP, OR PEOPLE BY ADAPTING TO OR BORROWING TRAITS FROM ANOTHER CULTURE" How did you answer? View the categories and explanations below: PAGE 07 NEW Friends & Environment NEW Culture & Language NEW Independence & Stressors NEW Foods & Eating Habits Acculturation is "the process of sharing and learning the cultural traits or social patterns of another group." You are embarking on a new adventure here at Lehigh University: This is your time to grow as a person. This is your time to expand your mind. This is your time to do things that many people may not get to do in their lifetime. Enjoy it and be open to new experiences! There is a theory that has been used to help understand or categorize culture adaption strategies used by individuals, and it's called Berry's Acculturation Model. Answer the questions in the chart below, to better understand how you're adjusting to your new surroundings. NAVIGATING CULTURAL CUISINE What is acculturation? Berry's Acculturation model discussion: Is it considered to be of value to maintain one's cultural heritage? Is it considered to be of value to develop relationships with the larger society (i.e. other groups)? Integration (least stressful) Risk-taking with new foods of host society, but appreciating your own cultrual traditions. Assimilation Individuals or groups of differing ethnic heritage are completely absorbed into the dominant culture of a society. Separation Individuals reject the dominant or host culture in favor of preserving their culture of origin. Marginalization Emphasis on being in transition rather than being a part of a culture (a rejection of both culture of orign and host culture). Please reach out to our Dietitian if you find yourself struggling in the Separation or Marginalization categories.

Request for Accommodations PROCEDURE GUIDE Meal Plans may be changed according to the Meal Plan Requirements through the 10th day of class each semester. To change your meal plan, please log into the Housing and Dining Self Service (My Housing Portal), select "Meal Plans," select "Current Semester," and click "Submit." In the event a student wishes to be released or receive a reduction from the meal plan due to a dietary need and/or religious dietary restriction, the following procedure is to be used. Step 1: Schedule a Religious Dietary Restriction Accommodations Session or Allergy/Medical Disability Accommodations Session with the on-campus Registered Dietitian to determine if dietary needs can be met. This type of session is for STUDENTS who are interested in pursuing (or learning more about) the process for meal plan and/or housing accommodations/adjustments. This meeting will be documented and used as a reference tool. Step 2: If, at the conclusion of this meeting, the Dietitian has concerns about the ability of the student to easily meet their dietary needs on-campus, then the student may apply for a meal plan exemption and/or housing adjustment. This process will require students to complete a Disability Housing Accommodations Request Form at https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php? LehighUniv&layout_id=122 (with appropriate medical documentation). Step 3: Exemption/accommodations request will be reviewed jointly by Disability Services, Residence Life, and Lehigh Dining Services, and other personnel who may be able to assist in accommodating your needs. A follow-up meeting may be scheduled to discuss specific needs and establish a plan. Student will be notified of outcome. An appeals process will be provided to the student. Documentation guidelines and deadline for submitting a Disability Housing Accommodations Request Form can be found on the Disability Support Services website at https://studentaffairs.lehigh.edu/content/disabilityhousing-accommodations.
