Center for Inclusion
The Center for Inclusion at Manhattanville College serves to provide a space in which all Valiants, particularly students of color and students of a diverse background feel supported, welcomed and comfortable. The Center provides a series of programming and workshops, intercultural competency training, student advocacy and outreach to the larger Manhattanville community. Students are invited to participate in our bi-weekly lunch and learn, cultural exploration field trips, and monthly events around different important topics with speakers from various marginalized groups. Our work is driven by the need to create a student experience in which all students are valued and respected regardless of race, class, gender and sexuality, gender expression, disability, religion or beliefs. In doing so, the Center supports students’ academic, social, cultural, and personal well-being and will allow students the opportunity to empower and educate themselves, their peers, and their community.
The Center for Inclusion is located in Tenney Hall, Ground Floor. .

First Year students participate in a Summer Intensive Program (August), community service activities, Back 2 School Night events, career workshops and tutoring sessions.
