A brief description of the programs sponsored by the institution to support underrepresented groups within the student body:

This institution has a program called Intercultural Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD). This program provides support for talented first-generation students to expand leadership skills. These scholars represent many cultures, races and ethnicities. The program aims to promote equality, ideas of diversity and civic stewardship. Scholars benefit from financial support, mentoring, workshops and
enhanced campus experiences.

This institution also has an Intercultural Center (IC) which aims to advance self-identity, diversity and inclusion within the student body. They collaborate to assist students to success academically and socially, especially American Students of Color. This is done through advocacy, intercultural education and social programming.

This institution also has an Intercultural Directions Council which promotes the ability to engage, learn from and work with people whose cultural identity is different from one’s own.

Finally, this college also supports PRiSM (People Representing the Sexual Minority). The goal is to create a community safe for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin, gender, religion, creed, disability, or socio-economic status. These activists support those of the sexual minority through events and meetings, educating others in the campus community and advocating for the rights of all people.
