Join us throughout Week 3 for our Cultural Resource Center Open House events presented by EOP! We will introduce student communities and their allies to our services, programming and campus affiliates over appetizers and light refreshments. The five Cultural Resource Centers (CRCs) that are administered as part of EOP's Cultural services and will each feature an Open House event as part of this week include the following:

- African-diasporic Cultural Resource Center (AdCRC)
- American Indian and Indigenous Cultural Resource Center (AIICRC)
- Asian Resource Center(ARC)
- Chicanx/Latinx Cultural Resource Center (CLCRC)
- Middle Eastern, North African, South Asian Resource Center (MENASARC)

Each CRC provides cultural programs that facilitate interaction/collaboration between students of all cultural/ethnic backgrounds, in order for students to gain an understanding of and appreciation for similarities and differences in each other and themselves. EOP Cultural Services helps to create an environment that celebrates and promotes the history, contributions, and intellectual heritage, education and growth of students.

History of our CRCs

The creation of the EOP Cultural Resource Centers came as a direct result of student activism in the late 1990's, during which time students from various historically excluded groups petitioned the University for dedicated safe spaces on campus. On October 22, 1998, students occupied Cheadle Hall and impressed upon the campus administration the need to support the lives of marginalized students. One of the student "demands" called for the construction of a new building to "house student resource centers designed to meet the specific needs of non-traditional students and student parents (to include childcare), the Queer student community, the Native American student community, the Chicano/a Student community, the Asian American student community, the African American student community, and the Middle Eastern student community."

Following the completion of the Student Resource Building and the opening of the new Cultural Resource Centers in February 2007, the CRCs have served an invaluable role in our community as spaces that facilitate cultural-based programming and strives to foster safe environments for both individual students and culturally affiliated campus organizations. The CRCs serve as a hub for students and are foundational for the events and meetings necessary to sustain cultural organizations at UCSB.
