Mission
The Unity Center is Rhode Island College's multicultural center. It promotes
opportunities for exploring human dignity, social identity, and cultural
equity. The Center fosters collaborative programming among its student affiliations,
faculty and the local community. It is committed to challenging stereotypes,
racism and apathy and gender discrimination. The Center's concern is to
maintain global awareness by responding to current events while preparing
others to be productive citizens of the world. The Center is also a place
where students can engage their peers and faculty about what is being taught
in the classroom and is a space for dialogue and discussion. We strive to preserve,
bolster, and enrich students' cultural, social and ethnic identity.
