Intercultural Center Mission

The mission of the Intercultural Center is to support the access, retention, and success of ALANA (African, Latin, Asian & Native American) students by centering, uplifting and empowering their identities. We achieve our mission through access and support programs, networking and education. The Intercultural Center proactively and intentionally empowers and supports underrepresented students.

• We support students who are part of the Black and Latinx learning community

We support recipients of Intercultural Ambassador Program Scholarship & members of the S.O.A.R Program.

• The Center facilitates a variety of culturally competent programming throughout the academic year.

• The Intercultural Center is an inviting space for students, staff, and faculty – which also has a fully accessible kitchen, multi-purpose room, and prayer space.

• The Intercultural Center also hosts the end of the year BIPOC Excellence Graduation Ceremony.
