Associate Director Kia Lor of the Greenfield Intercultural Center supports students at Penn while navigating multiple cultures Kia Lor, a first-generation Hmong American, navigates interculturalism as the new associate director of Greenfield Intercultural Center.  Kia Lor’s first day of work was the first day of shutdown on March 16, 2020. The new associate director of the Greenfield Intercultural Center (GIC) wasn’t new to campus however. Lor earned her master’s degree from the Graduate School of Education in 2016, specializing in intercultural communication. A high-achieving first-generation, low-income (FGLI) student, she had recently realized that she could make a career out of intercultural work, which she had done her entire life as a first-generation immigrant.
