Join us for a dedicated listening and feedback space designed to center your voice.

Your Voice at the Center of the Identity Centers invites undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and campus community members to connect directly with the Director of the Center for Intercultural Engagement (CIE). This is an opportunity to share your thoughts, experiences, and ideas as we collectively reflect on the future of the CIE and its Identity Centers—the Multicultural Center (MCC), the Sexuality & Gender Equality (SAGE) Center, and the Interfaith Center (IFC).

This session is an opportunity to actively shape the spaces that support our campus community. Your feedback will help inform how we evolve our programs, environments, and approaches to better meet the needs of students and the broader SCSU community.

It is also a space to help guide the work of those who serve within these centers. Insights shared will contribute to how we think about the roles, responsibilities, and impact of staff within the Identity Centers and the Center for Intercultural Engagement at large—ensuring that our work remains responsive, relevant, and community-informed.

As part of the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, this conversation is also about looking ahead—together. Your voice will directly contribute to how we imagine, strengthen, and reimagine the role of the Identity Centers as we move forward.
This space is grounded in listening, reflection, and forward-thinking dialogue. Whether you have specific suggestions or simply want to share your perspective, your voice matters in helping shape what comes next.
Come as you are. Stay for as long as you’re able.

Join the Multicultural Center in celebrating AAPI Heritage Month through creativity and cultural expression at Threads of Tradition: Tie-Dye & AAPI Cultural Expression.
Across many Asian and Pacific Islander cultures, textile art has long been used to tell stories of identity, community, and tradition. This hands-on experience invites you to explore these influences while creating your own custom tie-dye piece inspired by patterns, colors, and meanings from across the AAPI diaspora.
Stop by, get creative, and leave with something uniquely yours! Limited shirts available—be sure to grab yours early! Once they’re gone..., they’re gone!
