Cabrillo College and its Division of Student Equity and Success are thrilled to announce the Grand Opening of the college's first-ever Multicultural Student Center. This vibrant and welcoming new space is dedicated to fostering a true sense of belonging for every student, serving as a hub for celebrating the rich diversity of Cabrillo’s campus community.

The Multicultural Student Center aims to promote inclusivity and create opportunities for connection, cultural exchange, and student success. It is designed to be a safe and supportive environment where students from all backgrounds can come together, share their experiences, and thrive.

The Grand Opening event took place on Monday, September 8, from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM in the lower level of the Student Activities Center (SAC) East, located on Cabrillo’s Aptos Campus at 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos. The celebration featured inspiring speakers, lively music, and light refreshments, creating an atmosphere of joy and community.

This event is part of Cabrillo’s Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) month, which includes a series of activities designed to celebrate Cabrillo’s recognition as a federally-designated Hispanic Serving Institution. The Multicultural Student Center embodies the college's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring that every student feels valued and supported.

Cabrillo College invites all students, faculty, and community members to visit the Multicultural Student Center and participate in the ongoing celebration of diversity on campus.
