Center for Inclusion

The Center for Inclusion, located in Founder’s Gallery, is an on-campus resource that provides a space for students to feel supported, valued and welcomed regardless of race, class, gender, age, sexual preference, abilities, nationality, religion or beliefs. Through student advocacy, campus programming and outreach to the larger Manhattanville community, CFI seeks to create an inclusive campus culture.

CFI sponsors events such as Voices from the Margin speaker series, Monday Night Dinner discussions about current events and social issues, Cultural Exploration Field Trips, Masculinities, a men's support group, and initiatives that support LGBTQ+ and women. The Manhattanville University Intercultural Competency Program (MICCP) is a training program on cultural awareness and understanding cultural differences.

The Center is also home to Manhattanville First, a program in partnership with Let's Get Ready, a New York City based organization that offers hands-on support and mentorship for our first-generation Valiants. Students can also apply for the Manhattanville Achievement Program (MAP), a need-based scholarship program for incoming first-year students.
