The Ewing Multicultural Center operates as an incubator promoting learning, understanding, and interaction. It is a resource for individuals committed to building bridges of community across and within lines of nationality, socioeconomic class, gender, race, ethnicity, lifestyle, and ability. Through programmed and casual opportunities, the Center provides cross-cultural intersections for campus members to engage with a range of experiences, philosophies, cultures and ways of life. Because it houses the Office of International Programs and the Office of Affairs, the Center works attentively to maximize the academic and social success of students from international, minority, and marginalized backgrounds.
