At the School of Global Access we have a broad goal of advancing the Diversity Advantage. We develop concepts of intercultural understanding and positive relationships at the College, promoting learner and staff engagement, and create a sense of community and ethical citizenship on campus.
Fostering inclusion and meaningful connections on campus.
Located on the third floor of our North Campus, the Intercultural Centre (IC) provides training, workshops, community volunteerism, and College wide events for staff, faculty, and learners.
The IC was created to foster and advance diversity and inclusivity on campus. Whether you want to learn about other cultures, develop intercultural competency skills, become a leader, or volunteer, the IC has something for you.
Please note that our on-campus location is currently not open. Please reach out to us at intercultural@bowvalleycollege.ca
