The Center
We Welcome All
The mission of The Center at the 同城快约 is to create a campus atmosphere where students of all backgrounds, identities and perspectives feel welcome, secure and included. We help connect students to the resources, organizations and student support services they need to thrive as 同城快约 students and as future professionals.
Created by 同城快约 Students
The Center was created through the requests and engagement of 同城快约 students, and opened in the fall of 2016. Located on the third floor of the Elliott Student Union, The Center provides space for individuals, student organizations, and campus-wide programs and events. Looking for Community?
