WELCOME TO THE PRISM MULTICULTURAL CENTER

STUDENTS, FACULTY AND FRIENDS

Welcome everyone to a new year and the second year of the opening of the new PRISM Multicultural Center. For those who are not familiar with PRISM or have forgotten, the PRISM Multicultural Center was implemented in 2016 with students in mind. We develop and facilitate programs and services that are designed to support and retain students from all ethnic and cultural diverse backgrounds. It is a space to engage students in activities, dialogue and resources that nurtures cross-cultural interaction and communication that fosters the exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives. We encourage students to come in and hang out, have discussions or just listen to the music in the center.

FACULTY; PRISM also welcomes faculty and staff to participate in any of our programs or if you have a program in mind that you would like to bring to the college that facilitates diversity and inclusion, please feel free to meet with us to talk about it. We also are asking faculty to think about putting in office hours in the center. This is a great opportunity for your students to get familiar with the center. Below is a list of topic events we have implemented since we opened:
