Intercultural Center
Mission and Purpose
The Intercultural Center serves the needs of International and Multicultural Education on our campus. The Center is designed to provide students, faculty, staff, and the community with an enriched environment that celebrates the cultural contributions of our diverse population and to foster greater cultural interaction, understanding, and education. The Center will provide cultural activities and training programs that enhance relationships and campus spirit. The Center will also serve as resource clearing house, providing books, videos, and pamphlets regarding diversity. Today the Intercultural Center’s mission promotes the recognition that cultural diversity is a positive feature of college campuses.
The Intercultural Center has an Advisory Council that guides and monitors our activities. The Intercultural Council promotes multicultural understanding, citizenship, and racial harmony. We acknowledge the need to take institutional responsibility for eliminating racism, stereotype, prejudice, and discrimination. We serve as a catalyst to provide opportunities for educational understanding and appreciation.
You are welcome to visit and be part of developing an inclusive environment.
The Intercultural Center is a visible and tangible representation of the college’s commitment to “Making Life Better”.
