Cultural Heritage Month Celebrations
Honoring and Lifting Up SCU's Diverse Community
SCU Cultural Heritage Celebrations are periods within the year to honor, amplify, and acknowledge all members of the SCU community. In addition to uplifting diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences, these celebrations serve to educate our SCU community. These are vibrant and community building moments that help us to center our shared human conditions, joys and lived realities.
SCU is committed to further enhancing and expanding its efforts around these Cultural Heritage months and other important commemorative holidays. The Cultural Heritage months are important moments of recognition and celebration that help reinforce the importance of belonging on campus and our ongoing commitment to a diverse and inclusive community.

How to Get Involved

They will work in close collaboration with faculty, staff, and student partners in providing the SCU community opportunities to continue our collective learning and engagement that recognizes, examines, and values historical legacies of a diverse array of identities.
