The center for cultural Liberation is our Multicultural Center

1
00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:06.600
 at Dominican University. The CCL exists

2
00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:09.800
 to support and retain students from historically marginalized backgrounds.

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.500
The two pillars of the CCL are The Village and El

4
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:16.400
 Centro, two programs that give the CCL its mission

5
00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:19.500
 and vision. The Village is a mentoring and leadership

6
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:23.300
 program for Black and African American students and El

7
00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:25.100
 Centro is a combination of programs with the

8
00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:28.500
 goal of developing Dominican's Hispanic serving identity.

9
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:31.400
 The CCL was designed by students and

10
00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:34.400
 for students who are deeply committed to creating a more

11
00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:35.300
 socially just world.

12
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:39.300
Throughout the year the CCL hosts many programs in

13
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:43.700
 coordination with campus partners and student groups representing Dominican's

14
00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:45.600
 diverse student body. For example,

15
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.000
 we celebrate heritage months on cultural holidays as

16
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:51.600
 well as host workshops and discussion groups are important

17
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.300
 social justice related topics.

18
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.300
The center for cultural Liberation has a large open lounge area

19
00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.300
 for students to build community, a reservable conference room

20
00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:04.000
 and individual office spaces for more private conversations. We

21
00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.200
 also have several items for students to borrow from

22
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.200
 such as books, technology, whiteboards and

23
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.500
 a projector screen for screening films. We encourage all

24
00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.400
 students to visit our space for studying, group projects and

25
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:16.200
 hanging out with friends.
