ABOUT
CCSD was born out of the student-led 1999 Ethnic Studies Strike and Agreement. In keeping with that legacy, we strive to be a center of support and empowerment for cross-ethnic activity.

CCSD is a part of Multicultural Student Development (MSD) and a partner in the Multicultural, Sexuality, and Gender Centers cluster, which includes the Gender Equity Resource Center and the Multicultural Community Center.

Recent projects and collaborations our office has been involved in include the Annual Night of Cultural Resistance and the upcoming Campus Climate Symposium.
