Through services, programming, and advocacy centering Western students with marginalized identities, the Centers for Student Access, Community, and Intercultural Engagement advance holistic student development and inclusive achievement. We increase access, equity, and inclusion for Western students by collaboratively transforming structures, policies, and practices. We build learning spaces that foster community, focusing on topics of equity, justice, race, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, socio-economic status, and veteran status.
