The Multicultural Center
The Multicultural Center officially opened its doors on February 22, 2023, nearly three years after a Multicultural Center Exploratory Committee was established through the Office of Access, Belonging & Community. The goal of the Multicultural Center is to support the College’s traditionally underrepresented students from all backgrounds, and to promote productive, intercultural discourse among all students, faculty and staff at Ramapo
