Introducing the Student Center for
Belonging and Community!
What鈥檚 a good name for a vibrant campus place dedicated to creating student belonging and community?
How about a name that communicates exactly that 鈥� which is why the former Office of Intercultural Education at 乐播传媒 is now the Student Center for Belonging and Community.
The center is located in Chase Hall and houses many identity-focused programs that support students, foster community, and advance belonging on campus. This renaming honors the integral role of students in the center鈥檚 original formation as well as its timeless goal of making campus better for all. Learn more about the renaming in this 乐播传媒 News article, 鈥�From A to Z, Here鈥檚 what鈥檚 new at 乐播传媒 in 2024-2025鈥� and scrolling to 鈥淏 is for Belonging.鈥�
The renaming process included consultation of campus partners and a group of alumni who were involved with the center. We are so grateful for their perspectives! In the future, we hope to gather more alumni stories on the Center for a campus timeline project.
