CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY CENTERS
Cultural and community centers are college-owned facilities established
for the designated use of groups historically targeted and marginalized
within the United States society. The centers serve an educational
function by providing programming which is relevant to historically
targeted groups and provide opportunities for all students to develop
the skills required to interact effectively in a pluralistic multicultural
environment.
Centers are used throughout the academic year for members of the
Mount Holyoke community to gather and to hold academic and social
events. For more information about hours of operation and scheduling
use of a center, contact the Office of the Dean of the Students,
