UM-Flint Intercultural Center Belonging • Advocacy • Education The Intercultural Center (ICC) opened its doors in 2014. These students have graduated but their legacy remains through the ICC.

The idea for the ICC was established by a group of students who aspired to develop a legacy on campus. Their vision was rooted in a deep respect for each other, social justice work, and the richness and potential of cultural and intellectual diversity at UM-Flint. The ICC supports cultural student organizations and critical dialogues on UM-Flint's campus, with programming aligning with the pillars of belonging, advocacy, and education.
