A brief description of the programs sponsored by the institution to support under-represented groups within the student body:
GMC's Intercultural Center (ICC) is committed to providing the Green Mountain College community with cross-cultural experiences by fostering inclusion and respect for all in the GMC community.
The ICC also enhances and enriches the experience of the entire student body by providing opportunities to engage and educate the campus as a whole on issues related to race, gender, and sexual orientation. ICC welcomes all students interested in fostering cross-cultural communication and understanding.
In addition to the Intercultural Center (ICC), GMC has an array of affinity groups to support underrepresented groups within the student body.
Affinity groups include:
Black Culture Club
Engages the campus and surrounding communities in activities that promote multiculturalism; provides academic and social support to black students.
PANTS (People Are Not Their Sex)
By providing a safe space to talk about issues relating to gender and sexuality, PANTS attempts to combat the hypocritical dichotomy that exists in American culture simultaneously promoting graphic sexuality and censoring alternative sexual or gender expression.
Pride
Raises awareness of GLBTQQIA issues and provides educational resources, social services, activism, and supportive services.
WAGE Committee (Women and Gender Events Committee)
Supports organizing efforts for campus-wide events related to women and gender issues and/or education.
