Intercultural Center

1976 - Present

The Multicultural Center was established in 1976 as a campus space for multicultural students. Originally in Willams House, the center has moved locations and changed its name to Intercultural Center. While in Stimson and Williams Houses, the center also served as a residential option for a small number of students of color. The most recent Student Life and Housing Plan includes plans to build a new Intercultural Cneter with expanded space and supports within the complex of houses at Union Street.
