myCSUSM
As the first of the Student Life Centers established at CSUSM in 2003, the Cross-Cultural
Center encourages identity exploration by challenging students to think critically
about social justice issues and appreciate differences. Our programs promote the development
of cultural intelligence, examine various forms of activism, and train students for
campus leadership, community engagement, and social change. All students, regardless
of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin, are welcome at the Cross-Cultural
Center.
We create a space for belonging for all members of our student community and support
efforts for all students to achieve their fullest potential for academic success.
All of the programs are connected to our four program themes:
- Activism and Advocacy
- Developing multicultural competency
- Critical engagement across social identity groups
- Retention of underrepresented and underserved students
We encourage you to visit the space and check out the Love Generator Mural and other social justice related artwork.
