Learn about the CCC and Join!

Описание: Since November 2021, SDSU-Imperial Valley’s Cross-Cultural Center (CCC) has focused on supporting the success of our diverse student community through programs and events centered on their social justice, inclusion, and validation. We are dedicated to fostering students' wholistic learning and growth through initiatives emphasizing the social justice, inclusion, and validation of the intersectionalities of their social identities such as race, religion, ethnicity, class, ability, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression and members of mix-immigration status families.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the CCC is to create an inclusive campus climate and environment for underrepresented students at SDSU-IV by advocating for the challenges they face and embracing the strengths, talents, and resiliencies they bring from their communities at the Imperial Valley and Calexico-Mexicali border region. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for all our students through events and initiatives centered on critically conscious dialogue and communication. Overall, the CCC is student-centered and guided by the following student development theories: Community Cultural Wealth (Yosso, 2005), Funds of Knowledge (González, et. al, 2005), Intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989) and Critical Consciousness (Freire, 1970/1993).
