Preston Construction Company has begun work on the ETSU Multicultural Center, located on the 2nd floor of the D.P. Culp University Center. The Center, designed by Red Chair Architects in Knoxville, TN, will provide educational support programs and services for students; and programs and services related to multiculturalism, as well as encourage dialogue on diversity-related issues.
“The vision of the ETSU Multicultural Center is to positively affect lives by creating an environment that supports and sustains the affirmation, celebration and understanding of human differences and similarities,” said Interim Director Angela Claxton-Freeman.
In addition to a student lounge, the Center will house the offices of Access and Student Success and Multicultural Affairs, the Diversity Educators Program, as well as QUEST and mentoring and faculty programs.
