Gah’Ques Ligons (’25)“The Intercultural Center (IC) became my home away from home on campus since I first stepped on campus. They create an inclusive atmosphere where I can be myself and build meaningful connections. The IC and the staff have helped shape my college experience and help me grow into the leader I am today.”
“The IC has become a very special place for me, it’s the place where I can be my most transparent self, I am accepted and embraced for who I am and where I come from. This has become my home away from home.”
Vianney Manjarrez (’24 , MSM ’25)
“The IC is the perfect to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. I love meeting new people there and being able to share my own culture and background with others.”
