Providing Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors 

The purpose of all Cultural Heritage and History celebrations is to affirm and elevate students by celebrating the diverse tapestry of intersectional identities that make us LBCC. Through these events, we seek to provide students with mirrors in which to see their identity recognized, honored, and valued. They also serve as windows for students of other identities to gain a deeper appreciation for diversity, equity, and inclusion. And finally, sliding glass doors, inviting everyone in to fully participate.  

Over time, several events have become staples for our Cultural Heritage months. All were developed by individual workgroups and fostered great reviews. In the spirit of collective impact and institutional change, we have now developed a baseline offering of events coordinated by different areas of the college. These efforts are instrumental in ensuring our students feel engaged, validated, empowered, and inspired- one more way for them to know that they belong at Long Beach City College!
