NEIU ANGELINA PEDROSO CENTER FOR DIVERSITY AND INTERCULTURAL AFFAIRS

[Gardenia C. Hung]

The Angelina Pedroso Center for Diversity and Intercultural Affairs gathers NEIU students, faculty, staff and members of the community at large to celebrate individual differences, promote dialog on topics of diversity and social justice.

The Center approaches diversity with a multiple social identity perspective so that people can identify with their specific backgrounds. The Pedroso Center promotes diversity and multicuturalism through workshops, retreats, conferences, and trainings. We foster intercultural awareness, inclusiveness,, and respect for all cultures through educational and co-curricular programs and initiatives. We are home to the Latino Resource Center, African/African-American Resource Center, and the Asian/Global Resource Center.

The Pedroso Center encompasses much more than ethnic and racial identity, we welcome all identifications of national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ability, class, and more.
