Critical Hmong Studies Resource Center

Vicki Lord Larson Hall 2138

The Critical Hmong Studies Resource Center supports Hmong-related initiatives on the UW-Eau Claire campus. The goal of this center is to open a door to high-impact learning for all UW-Eau Claire students and the campus community. As the Hmong American community grows, we realize there is a greater need to educate both Hmong and non-Hmong students about Hmong language and history. The rising number of Hmong American students matriculating into higher education at UW-Eau Claire has become necessary to create a space for the cultivation of both academic and student-centered spaces. This space is decorated with Hmong artifacts and materials. The space is used by the Hmong Studies Steering Committee and students to further develop and implement our initiatives such as weekly Hmong language table discussion, symposium planning meetings, and ongoing social and cultural gatherings for students and staff.

Latinx Cultural Center

Hibbard Humanities Hall 801

The Latinx Cultural Center supports the needs of the fastest growing population group on campus; our Latinx/o/a students. This center helps build a connection between campus and the greater Eau Claire Latinx community. The cultural center serves as a meeting place for community organizations to collaborate with our students and other individuals. Our Latinx students utilize the LCC as safe space to celebrate and share their respective cultures with others. We look forward to the continued support and collaborations between students, faculty in the Latin American Studies program, and the community that occurs within and as a result of this space.

This cultural center was established in February 2020 making it the newest cultural space operated by the Latin American Studies department and MSS office.

Black Cultural Center

Centennial Hall 1931

The Black Cultural Center serves as a foundation for Black/African American cultural identity, education, and understanding between diverse communities at UW-Eau Claire. In addition to the variety of programs and resources that MSS offers, we also manage the Black Cultural Center. This cultural center, located in Centennial Hall 1931, is primarily used as an informal drop-in space for students to convene. Additionally, it is a great place to explore and discuss ideas, hold study groups, plan and host meetings and events, have a dinner, read a book, write a paper, or just relax.

Inter-Tribal Learning Center

Hibbard Humanities Hall 150

The Inter-Tribal Learning Center (ITLC) is a safe space for all Native American students and allies to gather. The ITLC provides a space for sharing ideas and expressing personal and academic support for each other while assisting in the promotion of awareness and understanding of Indigenous cultures and issues across campus as well as throughout local, regional, and national communities. Made possible by the partnership between the Multicultural Student Services, the American Indian Studies Program, and the Inter-Tribal Student Council (ITSC), the ITLC serves as the meeting space for ITSC as well as a general space for students to do homework, study, have a meal, take a quick nap, or simply hang out!
