»Cross-Cultural Center

The Cross-Cultural Center (CCC) – The Cross-Cultural Center (CCC) is a resource and referral hub in Argyros Forum 304. The space supports the success of all students and plays a crucial role in fostering a sense of community. The CCC offers activities that encourage students to explore and strengthen their bonds on campus. It develops programs and services that respond to all student needs, with initiatives designed to foster a sense of empowerment for students. The CCC’s programs are built on four core pillars: Respect, Perseverance, Resilience, and Hope. 

• Advocacy, intercultural programming, advisement, leadership development, and student retention.
• Establishing a welcoming community and a physical space designed to be your home away from home.
• Participating in academic exploration, fostering connections, socializing, and cultivating relationships with peers, staff, and faculty.
