We work with campus partners across the college to provide opportunities for students to connect with their peers, faculty, staff, alumni, and local community members. From leadership development opportunities to informal dialogues about race, class, and power in our student lounge, we invite you to come and connect with us. The Center aims to proactively engage the campus community through educational opportunities focusing on identity, power, equity, and social justice issues to encourage social change.

The Unity Student Lounge
Formerly IDEAS Student Lounge, our student lounge is located on the 3rd floor of the Campus Center, right beside our office space. The lounge is open as long as the Campus Center building is open and has 3 computers available to use. Whether you need somewhere to sit and study, eat your lunch without making a commute home, or you just want to watch YouTube videos on the projector, the Unity Student Lounge is a great place to meet other students.
Intercultural Career Connections

In collaboration with the Office of Career Exploration & Development and the Office of Access, Opportunity, & Achievement. This event is sponsored by Career Services, the Office of State Grants, and the Center for IDEAS.
