The name change reflects the center’s focused mission and goals as the university’s dedicated resource for race- and ethnicity-related advocacy, services and programs.
The Center for Race, Ethnicity, and Diversity Education is the new name for Elon’s Multicultural Center.
The center’s staff is led by Randy Williams, a veteran college administrator with expertise in managing student life programs. As the university’s dedicated resource for race and ethnicity related advocacy, services and programs, the center also operates as the new home of El Centro de Español.
The center manages Hispanic/Latino, Asian and African American Resource rooms as part of its ongoing missions to foster understanding and pride in identities.
The newly organized center will build upon the foundation of the Multicultural Center and create cross-campus collaborations with other departments and organizations. While CREDE exists as a physical space in the Moseley Center, its staff is focused on advancing diversity education for students throughout campus.
At the heart of the new center is its vision statement: The CREDE will be a premier contributor to creating a campus where all members exercise inclusion and individuals flourish.
