Multicultural Center

Golden West College is proud to officially open the doors to our new Multicultural Center.

The Multicultural Center serves as the unified home for several of our student success programs, including Student Equity, ASPIRE, Umoja, Puente, Golden Pride, El Centro and Dream Success. This Center is more than just a physical space, it is an environment that will foster collaboration, community, connection, support, and the resources all students need to thrive. We look forward to seeing the incredible impact it will have for years to come.
