Diversity, Inclusion and Equity<br />
<strong>Whitman</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Intercultural Center provides<br />
programming to support students from historically<br />
underserved backgrounds, including international<br />
students, first-generation college students, those from<br />
working-class backgrounds, those who identify as<br />
LGBTQIA+, and students from diverse racial, ethnic or<br />
religious backgrounds.<br />
In addition to the Office of LGBTQIA+ Resources and<br />
International Student and Scholar Services, the Intercultural<br />
Center oversees the multi-ethnic interest house<br />
(MECCA), and more than a dozen active identity and<br />
culture groups. These student-led organizations are<br />
among the most active clubs on campus. They provide<br />
leadership opportunities for students and promote<br />
diversity and multiculturalism by sponsoring speakers,<br />
discussion panels, musical events, dances, festivals<br />
and dinners.<br />
