Understanding the Role of Cultural Centers and its’ intersectional impact at Rutgers University – New Brunswick
December 15, 2016 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Presenter: David Jones
Co-Presenters: Carlos Fernandez, Zaneta Rago-Craft, Ji Lee, Jannah Handy
Rutgers University-New Brunswick recently established the Cultural Center Collaborative, a partnership between the four Cultural Centers – Center for Social Justice & LGBT Communities, Asian American Cultural Center, Paul Robeson Cultural Center and the Center for Latino Arts & Culture – in an effort to acknowledge identity intersectionality among our student community and partner with one another to develop programs and initiatives that are representative of our student community. This panel will introduce this collaborative partnership to attendees and provide the platform for Cultural Center Directors to share best practices, initiatives and effective strategies that are implemented to ensure this partnership is a meaningful collaboration at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. The panelists will create this space to better understand the importance of intersectionality and valuing student identity and expression to sustain a sense of belonging for them during the undergraduate academic career.
