Cross-Cultural Center

» Cross-Cultural Center

The Cross-Cultural Center (CCC) is a resource hub that advocates for and supports all students at Chapman University. We encourage students to explore, celebrate, and share their diverse cultures, ideologies, and traditions. We do this through:

  • Advocacy, intercultural programming, advisement, leadership development, and student retention.
  • Establishing a welcoming community and a physical space designed to be your home away from home.
  • Participating in academic exploration, fostering connections, socializing, and cultivating relationships with peers, staff, and faculty.

Take a look around the Cross Cultural Center

Take a virtual 360-degree tour of the CCC! We encourage you to visit us in person to learn more about our resources and services.
