The Frederick Douglass Unity House (FDUH) was established in 1995 as a part of the UMass Dartmouth's efforts to acknowledge the unique circumstances of its increasingly diverse student body. The FDUH provides a supportive environment for the academic, cultural, recreational, and social pursuits of UMass Dartmouth students of color. It is a co-curricular center where activities and initiatives are designed that challenge, foster, and enrich the cultural life of the UMass Dartmouth community. Through surface, significant, and signature programming, we seek to educate, enlighten, and expose our diverse student, staff, faculty, and community members to the world of diversity.
