Cultural Programs

Housed within the Thayne Center for Student Life, Leadership & Community Engagement, Cultural Programs uplifts SLCC’s values of community, inclusivity, learning, and trust through transformative programming and resource development. This focus area centers two key efforts: our Heritage Month Events—dynamic celebrations that honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of historically marginalized communities—and the Gender & Sexuality Student Resource Center (GSSRC), which supports all students through an intentional lens of gender and sexuality. Together, these programs foster a sense of belonging, promote critical dialogue, and facilitate personal and collective growth throughout the college community.
