"Unity in Diversity, Strength in Belonging, Power in Action."

The Intercultural Center is dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion as guiding principles in the pursuit of knowledge, personal growth, and social transformation. Our work aims to dismantle systemic barriers that limit the advancement of marginalized communities by fostering authentic relationships, informal mentorship, and intercultural dialogue. Through a culture rooted in trust, belonging, and holistic connection, we create a space where individuals are encouraged to bring their full selves, support one another’s journeys, and grow together. Our commitment empowers communities to lead with empathy, advocate for justice, and collectively build a more inclusive and equitable future.

We are cultivating a vibrant community where authenticity is celebrated, mentorship is lived, and intercultural dialogue sparks real change. Through bold action and unwavering commitment, we are shaping a campus and a society, where inclusion isn’t just an ideal, it’s a lived reality for all.

The Intercultural Center is located on the first floor of the Student Center (Room 114). The center is part of the Arthur L. Johnson Unity Wing, which also includes the Pride Center and Women’s Center.
