Warhawk Connection Center

Through programming and collaborations within and across identity boundaries, the Warhawk Connection Center (WCC) serves as a diversity resource for and provides outreach to all students, faculty, and staff. As part of UC - Student Activities & Involvement, the Center educates individuals and fosters a sense of community through campus-wide events, displays, and student involvement opportunities, while supporting the initiatives of others engaged in diversity education.

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
