Resources
Sociocultural clubs are interactive student groups that focus their missions on recognizing the cultures and history of marginalized identity groups. These organizations engage in the celebration and education of cultural identities by offering immersive experiences, provide an outlet for individuality and cultural expression, and further the understanding and acceptance of marginalized cultural identities. The goal of sociocultural clubs is to provide a sense of belonging and community for students of underrepresented identities and cultures on campus.
