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
