Programs and Services

• Cross-Cultural Programming
  • A goal of ICR/CCC is to provide students with opportunities to learn more about cultures that differ from their own. In order to accomplish this, ICR sponsors a number of programs that celebrate cultural heritage. Examples of past programs that have become traditions on campus are the Martin Luther King, Jr. parade, César E. Chávez Luncheon, Gospel Fest, a celebration of Hispanic Heritage, awareness programs on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender issues and Women’s awareness to name a few.
• Heritage Month Celebrations
  • 
    African/African Americans, Asian Americans, Latina/Latino, and Native American/Indigenous Peoples, LGBT, and Women each are defined as underrepresented populations nationally. Each of these underrepresented populations has a specific month reserved to honor and celebrate the culture’s contributions and accomplishments in America.
• Faculty Lecture Series
  • The Faculty Lecture Series is designed to provide students with an opportunity to engage in sustained dialogue related to a diverse range of cultural topics. The goal is to increase the level of understanding of dialogue participants by fostering an environment allowing open discussion and learning through the sharing of personal experience.
• Cultural Education Workshops and Training
  • This training breaks down the barriers, challenges the stereotypes, and strives to learn from the differences in people, cultures, and global community. The Office of Intercultural Relations staff is available to provide interactive training on topics for faculty and staff, student organizations, departments, and residence halls. The Office of Intercultural Relations will also provide training for co-workers or staff on a particular diversity-related topic, or guest lecture in classes tailored to the needs of students.
