What We Do Here
The Intercultural Center (IC) provides programs and services that support the personal and intellectual development of Asian American, Latine, Multiracial, Native American, Black, Queer (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender), low-income, international, students with disabilities, and first-generation college students at Swarthmore College. In addition, the IC promotes systemic change toward a multicultural perspective across the institution, and fosters community-building and collaboration among diverse groups both within and outside of the college.
The IC is both a physical space (located in Sproul Hall, with the Interfaith and International Student Centers as neighbors) and a department that houses programming around cultural sharing, celebration, and thoughtful interrogation. The IC is often considered a second home to many students on Swarthmore's campus. For others, it is a source of new experiences and information. And for others, the IC is an ally in accomplishing institutional change.
What can the IC be for you?
