LinkedIn Learning Challenge for Black History Month
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.”
Lourdes Lopez (’26)

As Native American/Indigenous Heritage concludes, the Intercultural Center and the Office of Leadership & Engagement wanted to share a story of Native American leadership at Wake Forest University. Many students, faculty, and staff utilize the space on campus named after former University President James Ralph Scales daily. Through these posts learn a little about who he was as a person that shaped his ability to lead.
