Petaluma Intercultural Center
The Petaluma Intercultural Center is an inclusive space where students form bonds through the intersectionality of cultures and identities. Beyond simply providing a “safe space” for diverse students, the Petaluma Intercultural Center offers opportunities for deep levels of student engagement through consciousness-raising activities and multicultural events that range from musical performances to art workshops to guest talks by social-justice activists. It’s also a comfortable place to hang out, study, hold club meetings, and meet with staff who are here to help you thrive in your academic and personal life.
Accessibility Note: To request ASL interpreting services to access the following events, please contact the Interpreting Services Office at least one week prior to the event to make arrangements: Interpretingservices@santarosa.edu or send a text to (707) 230-3895.
