The Cross-Cultural Center fosters the exploration and affirmation of the unique identities at Chapman University. Programs and services encourage students to explore, celebrate, and share their diverse cultures and traditions; further examine and cultivate the multiple aspects of their personal identities; develop an appreciation of and respect for diversity; and hone their skills in cross-cultural leadership and dialogue while creating a welcoming and inclusive campus community.

- knowledge of one’s own identity, culture and biases
- empathy for individuals different from themselves
- connection to the Chapman community
- understanding of the positive influence of a diverse campus on student learning and growth
