The Center for Culture and Community serves as a hub for fostering cross-cultural understanding, inclusivity, leadership development, and personal growth within the Wentworth community. Committed to creating a welcoming and brave space, the Center provides resources, programming, and support to empower students—particularly those from underserved populations and their allies.

Through intentional engagement, advocacy, and education, we work to dismantle barriers, amplify diverse voices, and cultivate a sense of belonging where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. Our initiatives promote dialogue, collaboration, and critical reflection on the intersections of identity, equity, and social justice.
