The Multicultural Center promotes cultural literacy and competency to build a more inclusive community through programming and events. It is a place where students, faculty, and staff—regardless of ability, age, class, ethnicity, gender, language, nationality, race, sexual orientation, or the many intersections of our multiple identities—are welcomed and encouraged to learn from the many cultural perspectives at the University of Redlands.
Led by student-interns, the Multicultural Center serves as a home and meeting place for the following diversity clubs:
- Asian Student Association (ASA)
- Black Student Union (BSU)
- DEFIANT (Differences & Disabilities Club)
