ABOUT CULTURES, COMMUNITIES & INCLUSION

Cultures, Communities & Inclusion (CCI) serves all students through programs and services that focus on GSU's strategic goals around Identity, Placemaking, and Belonging; Student Success; College to Career; and Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities. CCI programs and services reflect the cultures, backgrounds, identities, and experiences of our students, their families, and the people with whom our students will engage in their careers and communities. Supporting students across all campuses and preparing them to succeed in a diverse workforce is of paramount importance.

CCI supports the ways all students experience their own sense of their identities and how they interact with people who share their identities along with those who hold identities different from their own. Students may hold multiple identities that can include but are not limited to racial identities, ethnicities, gender and sexuality, faith and spirituality, nationality and citizenship, and other affiliations and communities of commonality, such as first-generation college students, adult and parenting students, military-connected students, and more. When students feel a sense of belonging and inclusion it can positively impact their retention, progress, graduation, future success in their chosen professions, and their contributions and service to their families and communities.

Georgia State University is a place for all, highlighting our common connections and intersections while upholding the free expression rights of each individual. Through shared experiences and engaged dialogue, CCI helps students contribute to the marketplace of ideas.
