What is CCA?

A community for students from different cultural backgrounds to build genuine friendships, share experiences, and learn from one another.

We want people to get to know each other beyond just where they’re from.

Who is CCA for?

Students shaped by cross-cultural experiences

People who may have grown up navigating multiple cultures, moved between places or communities, feel in between cultures, or carry a layered cultural identity.

And anyone curious enough to show up

People who want to learn from perspectives different from their own, build friendships across cultures, and broaden how they see the world.

What we do

Four ways we gather

  1. Community Nights

    Gatherings centered around activities, conversation, and sharing stories.

  2. Open Houses

    Casual spaces to study, hang out, play games, and meet people.

  3. Cultural Events

    Larger experiences exploring culture through food, sports, arts, film, and collaboration.

  4. Social Media

    Media initiatives that share perspectives, experiences, and cultural understanding with the wider campus community.

Find your community. Share your story.
