Intercultural Center Monthly Events
This month we celebrate Diversity Month; this is a time to celebrate the many identities and perspectives that enrich our campus community and the world around us! April as Celebrate Diversity Month was initiated in 2004 by two American diversity consulting firms, Progroup Inc. and Diversity Best Practices to address the growing multiculturalism in global societies. The purpose was and currently is to increase awareness and further understand other cultures.
Individuals from various cultural backgrounds, age groups, and life experiences are brought together every day on our campus. Having diversity in this environment is essential as it ensures the inclusion of different perspectives and ideas when making decisions.
We honor the contributions and experiences of individuals across all dimensions of diversity including but not limited to cultural background, disability, gender identity, age, and sexual orientation. As we commemorate Diversity Month, we recognize that our differences are not barriers but strengths to develop a more equitable and resilient campus for all.
.
Throughout the month, we invite you to engage in campus initiatives and opportunities designed to promote cultural competence and connection. These may include alliance meetings, workshops, events, and programs.

At College of the Canyons and here at the Intercultural Center, diversity is not just something we acknowledge; it’s something we actively rely on to fulfill our mission. One way we accomplish this is through our Alliances which are dedicated spaces where individuals who identify with a particular group can come together and share their experiences.
