The Intercultural Center is open and ready for new and returning Oglethorpe University students as they begin the fall semester at the Brookhaven campus.

The diversity, equity and inclusion initiative is located on the second floor of the Turner Lynch Campus Center. The center offers support, advocacy, engagement, and programs and services to promote a sense of belonging for students from historically marginalized and excluded identities, the university said.

The Intercultural Center also provides educational opportunities for all students to develop deeper understandings of and more effective skills in participating in a diverse, inclusive, and equitable campus community and world.
