Cross Cultural and Civic Leadership Center

*UNDER CONSTRUCTION*

The Cross Cultural and Civic Leadership Center, located on the sixth floor of the William Pitt Union, is a multipurpose, state-of-the-art facility designed especially for students and student organizations. CCLD opened in the fall of 2007 to provide opportunities for students to:

  • interact and engage in meaningful dialogue and experiential learning activities;
  • deepen their sense of self, their understanding and appreciation of cultural differences, and the important role these differences play in the human experience; and
  • cultivate a sense of social responsibility to others.

The Cross Cultural and Leadership Development Center not only provides students and organizations with first-class working areas equipped with the latest technology, it is a special place on campus that:

  • fosters cultural collaboration and communication;
  • creates centralized multi-cultural programming and workshops;
  • offers advisory services to all major cultural and some social groups;
  • offers civic, personal, and organizational leadership training;
  • and last, but not least, provides an informal gathering place for students.

CCLD is a place where students, particularly underrepresented groups of students, can seek support and guidance as they pursue their in and out of the classroom experiences educations on the pathway to graduation from the University of Pittsburgh.
