Executive Summary The Cross-Cultural Center had a very successful 2017-2018 academic year. Key highlights include: the first year of our three year rollout of the Alumni Roots Program, successful educational programs on health advocacy and outcomes with our Faculty in Residence, Dr. Jonathan Watanabe, and finally our internal Center program assessment, which reached 910 of our one-thousand survey return goal. Each of the highlights listed above position the Center to take full advantage of the Center Review process that was also under taken this year. Increasing our educational programs related to current issues, bringing alumni back to reconnect to campus and current students, and taking a deep dive into user needs and experiences supports the next 2-3 year strategic planning process.

We are also poised to develop new initiatives based on direct user data and assessments from our programs and services, including: launch of new alumni engagement tools, resetting program/event priorities using data informed metrics, and offering support to campus wide EDI strategic planning implementation and efforts.

“Being an intern has been one of my top college experiences. It has been the most transformative experience for me, as I have developed so much personally and professionally as a result of this internship. I know that the environment the CCC provides cannot be replicated in other work settings. I have never felt so supported by staff and fellow interns; the connections and relationships I have formed with these folks have a special place in my heart and I am always thankful I have had the opportunity to become a part of the CCC family. The Cross has also become a second home to me this year, and I am so glad I was able to be an intern my last year before I graduate.�

The Cross-Cultural Center Social Justice Leadership Academy (SJLA) is a program geared for undergraduate students to build: 1) foundational skills of a social justice framework and knowledge 2) leadership development and self–awareness 3) interpersonal communication skills

“While being here I have become open to learning about different aspects within social justice. Even though I get nervous to speak in public, it becomes easier for me to talk when I am passionate about something. I’ve learned my peers’ stories and how social justice applies to their life. I want to continue learning more and trying to make a difference for my communities.”

Cross-Cultural Center, Outreach, and Networking 2017-2018

Total Participants: 4,522

Community and K-12 Outreach Throughout the academic year and summer, the Cross-Cultural Center has partnered with community-based groups through personal referrals, existing relations across student affairs, academic departments, and with groups of campus students, staff, faculty and UCSD alumni.

Connections between the Cross-Cultural Center and the greater communities within and beyond San Diego include: K-12 visits, college bound students, community colleges, transfer students, college visitors, as well as international and professional staff. The Cross-Cultural Center hosts tours, interactive workshops, and educational presentations that focus on inclusive practices and highlight the impact of diverse voices and representation in institutions.

Academic and Faculty Engagement This year, the Cross-Cultural Center invited Dr. Jonathan Watanabe of the Skaggs School of Pharmaceutical Sciences as our Faculty in Residence, a yearly program that offers opportunities for a department faculty member, the Cross-Cultural Center community, and the campus to engage in educational learning and advocacy. The Center focused on issues related to health and wellness equity in both our Alumni Roots and Faculty in Residence programs.

Dr. Watanabe integrated his academic and community-based experience to present Don’t Let Them Fall through the Cracks, and Health Imbalances and Economic Disparities, covering topics of health inequities affecting marginalized communities last fall quarter to an audience of undergraduate students, graduate students, staff, and faculty.

In winter quarter, the Cross-Cultural Center invited Dr. Watanabe to be a moderator for UCSD Alumni practitioners of health in academic medicine, and public health called, Journeys in Health and Community Wellness, featuring, alumni, Dr. Annie Nguyen, Shereena Turner, and Heidi Tuason.

Spring quarter’s program was Health Advocacy, What’s at Stake? demonstrating the intersecting complications of health care cost distributions.

The Volunteer Program, now in its fourth year, has expanded the level of engagement that undergraduate students have with the Cross-Cultural Center. During the academic year, twenty-one volunteers participated in the program. The Community Outreach and Engagement Intern worked with the volunteers to provide opportunities for critical engagement with social justice theory and praxis.

As part of the professional development for the volunteer team, Cross-Cultural Center staff conducted regular workshops and trainings to expand the skillset of participants. Workshops topics include: communication styles, time management, and career preparation. Our volunteers also learn about social justice topics ranging from environmental justice to food deserts and sexism. This year we had six volunteers apply to leadership positions on campus and five of them were selected to hold student staff positions for the following academic year.

The primary function of the Volunteer Program is to increase support to the CCC staff during programming, as well as front desk coverage during staff meetings. The volunteers facilitated their own program during the winter quarter. It enabled volunteers the opportunity to increase their skills in teamwork, event logistics, and administration. This year, an incentive system was added to increase retention amongst the volunteers and to help ensure that they were accessing any needed resources for their own wellness.

Internship Program Going on 23 years, the Cross-Cultural Center’s internship is our most developed personal/professional developmental cohort model program. Rooted in internship-specific developmental outcomes, assessment over the years has shown that our internship program has been the most valuable and rewarding experience from the Cross-Cultural Center as a whole and for their entire UCSD undergraduate career.

All interns are responsible for a capstone project and/or program known as a Self-Initiated Project (SIP). The development of the SIP begins with an exploration of their passions in the beginning of their internship. During this process, they develop a sense of self, as well as recognize the importance of giving back to the CCC community through their shared insights and learnings. It involves personal development while exercising the professional skills they have learned over the course of their internship, such as intellectual growth, critical thinking, innovation, community engagement, etc.

A self-initiated program highlight was the “The Miseducation of Black Hairitage” program, a presentation and open discussion on Afro-centric hair followed by collage making. This was a closed event for African/Black identified students, staff, and faculty.

11

Student Centered Programming Student-centered programing is essential to the Cross-Cultural Center’s work. The student population is our largest target, although all are welcome to attend. Programs are inspired by students’ passion, personal interests, campus and national climate, campus-wide programming, wellness needs, and personal and professional skill-set needs. The Cross-Cultural Center executed 22 student-centered programs to include student-initiated and staff-led programs, whereby impacting a total of approximately 2,072 participants.

Affiliates Program and Student Leadership The Cross-Cultural Center’s Affiliates Program fosters relationships with student organizations and their leaders. This relationship enhances the growth and development of student leaders both within their organization and outside of the university. Affiliate organizations create a sense of belonging within their communities and help build better campus climate for the entire campus.

Intentional programs, workshops, and advising facilitated by staff throughout the year enhance the leadership and personal development of affiliated organizations and their members. During the 2017-18 academic year, these programs included: a jointly sponsored CCC and SPACES (Student Promoted Access Center for Education and Service) beginning of the year leadership retreat for members of Student Affirmative Action Committee organizations, leadership development workshops focusing on delegating tasks and wellness, and finally our fall and spring gatherings for cross-organization engagement. Of particular note, this year, the African Student Association and Central Americans Raising Awareness hosted a joint meeting and the Asian Pacific Student Alliance collaborated with the Nikkei Student Union on commemorating Japanese Internment Day of Remembrance.

Student Organization Data Highlights Student Organization events and activities accounts for over 32% of general Center usage. Organizations use the Center most often for general body and board meetings. Increasingly, students also initiate study jam type activities and social events focused around community.

Below is a chart of organizational usage for 2017-18.

In addition, it is important to highlight that Center usage by student organizations decreased as members of student organizations did work on behalf of their organization through the campus department SPACES, which serves to increase access to higher education and retention of UCSD undergraduates by providing an environment for student growth and development. For this academic school year, SPACES facilitated twenty-six events at the Cross-Cultural Center and, as a result, we saw an increase in department usage.

Cross-Cultural Center Staff Engagement Staff of the Cross-Cultural Center support campus-wide EDI efforts in a variety of ways. Annually, we collect data on these efforts. The chart below shows hours of work in addition to running the CCC that support campus climate building efforts.

Staff continued to track advising sessions for the third year in a row. Students and alumni outreached to us on many areas staff usually covered three topics per visit. It was not unusual, during the course of conversations, to move from talking about how to manage a conflict with a peer to career planning and graduate school. 2017-18 main topic areas continued to be wellness and leadership similar to the prior year. CCC staff is uniquely positioned to address these ‘intangible’ campus climates issues and have been able to share what we are seeing more broadly to other campus partners.

Bi-Annual Cross-Cultural Center Assessment Over the years, one of the CCC’s key goals is to solicit feedback on our programs and services. We do this through our program/event evaluations, volunteer and program learning outcomes, and finally in an extensive user assessment survey.

This year, our goal was to hear from 1,000 users about the impact of the Cross-Cultural Center. We reached over 910 Center users through the survey. Students, staff, faculty and community were invited to give feedback through our e-news, social media, and in person. We are excited to review and take in to account constituent needs as we plan toward strategic planning and mission review in the coming year.

A few key highlights include:

• 84% of survey respondents are satisfied/very satisfied with Center overall events and services.

• 78% of 910 survey respondents were undergraduate students.

• 43% of survey respondents identified themselves as first generation.

• 38% of survey respondents use the Center 1-4 times a quarter. 12% coming more than 12 times in a quarter • Respondents were given the choice to check all that applied in the demographic portion of the survey and our usage aligns closely with campus demographics and Center baseline user data from 2016-17.

*CCC survey respondents’ racial identity

20 *Note University data combines chicano/a/x and latino/a/x

*Note University data combines Filipino/a/x and Asian/Asian-Amiecan

Lastly, the survey asked how participants’ relationship with the CCC impacted their overall experience at UC San Diego with the following results:

• Sense of belonging on campus (52% very much/quite a bit) • Political and social justice attitudes (52% very much/quite a bit) • Fostering relationships with students (49% very much/quite a bit) • Retention on campus (47% very much/quite a bit)

*this is a sample of data collected from our overall CCC impact satisfaction questionaire

21

From these data points, we can see that the Center is supporting a sense of belonging (Strayhorn, 2012) and supporting the improvement of campus climate (Hurtado, Alvarez, Guillermo-Wann, Arellano, 2011) as shared with us from our direct CCC users. Going forward, staff will be taking a deep dive into survey data, foot traffic, and event attendance data to see what trends and programmatic themes to prioritize in our strategic planning process.

22

Alumni Roots This year, the CCC launched our 3-year program to increase alumni engagement and connection to current UC San Diego first-generation students of color. Feedback on these quarterly themed panels has been remarkable. At each panel, current students have expressed gratitude after hearing about student activism and involvement and how that has translated into the alumni skills, interests, and success. One example was when a student who attended the fall 2017 panel that was struggling about how to align all their interests and how hearing the panelist gave her a new trajectory for her undergraduate and career aspirations.

Thanks to the generous support of Dr. Jim and Julie Lin in keeping with our 3-year pilot goals. In fall 2018, the CCC will have an inaugural Jim and Julie Lin Alumni Relations and Development Intern as part of the 2018-2019 internship team. This internship position will move the Center to our next level of engagement, to include: the development of social media outreach, an alumni e-news, and help with coordination of campus events. The Center is connecting with Alumni Relations and Career Services to leverage all campus resources in support of alumni engagement with current students and building relationships with past students who want to connect and give back to the Center and the campus.

Gallery and Art Programs The Cross-Cultural Center ArtSpace continues to be a welcoming venue for artistic and creative expression. This space functions as a multi-purpose room and is used to host receptions, meetings, programs, academic courses, and performances. The ArtSpace is unique because it utilizes art as a way to critically engage and explore issues surrounding social justice, building community, self-care, and wellness.

For 2017-18, two events showcase the range of art-related programming for the Center. The Cross-Cultural Center highlighted the work of student artist, Isabel Garcia, who uses comic book stylings to show that there is a superhero inside of every individual. We were excited to once again offer students the opportunity to venture off campus and experience world renowned art. The Cross-Cultural Center’s Beyond La Jolla art excursion took students to the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. Students were given a guided tour of the “Modern Masters from Latin America: The Perez Simon Collection” by museum staff.

Marketing and Social Media This academic year, four of our interns utilized social media to tackle complex topics regarding social justice issues. Topics varied from food justice and urban planning to understanding welfare in San Francisco and gentrification in National City.

Each intern created their own blog making academic theory and praxis accessible to community members within and outside the UC San Diego community.
