Center for Culture and Social Justice
This is your safe haven. It’s a place where you can meet with a faculty member or have a club meeting. It’s a place where students who were previously in the foster care system or incarcerated, as well as veterans, can get specialized support. The Center for Culture and Social Justice helps the hungry, homeless and Dreamers, along with many other groups.

ACCCA and The Foundation are pleased to announce our latest webinar training:
"How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race in the Workplace"
July 16th 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
This webinar will be a unique opportunity with training followed by a Q&A with our
presenter.
Everyone around the country is talking about race. The problem is that few are talking
about how to talk about race. These conversations are challenging because they are
deeply emotional and trigger strongly held beliefs about identity and fairness. The
risks of failing to have these conversations in a respectful way can have profound
consequences throughout the workplace, leading to issues with morale, group cohesion,
and, in serious cases, employee retention. How can we talk about this sensitive topic
without hostility and offense? How can we turn our passion into persuasion and make
positive changes in our workplace?
