About Intercultural & Diversity Center Programs
Connect, Create & Act!
Everyday on our campuses and within the community we all have a unique opportunity to interact and learn from other people from very diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. As a model for inclusive excellence and to foster multicultural/global knowledge, awareness and skills, all of our programs are concentrated within three core themes for diversity, inclusion and social justice.
Connect – Connecting Communities through Cultural Activities
Create – Creating a Climate for Change
Act – Social Justice in Action
