Intercultural Student Center (ISC)

If you are interested in applying for the Cultural Diversity Advocate 2014-2015 leadership position, the online application will be available on Feb. 17 (application deadline closes in two weeks). This is an opportunity to participate in residence hall leadership in a unique role. The CDAs step forward in advocacy of using our similarities and our differences as people as an important aspect of relationship and community building. Sometimes people cannot pin point what exactly that the CDAs do - they just know they are generous-spirited folk who support, encourage and affirm you and many others.

Do you have what it takes to make a difference on our campus? Join us if you dare!
