Multicultural Services

Are you interested in joining one of our affinity-based student empowerment programs?

Puente has an emphasis on Latinx students, helping students achieve their academic and career goals through culturally relevant coursework, intensive advising, and mentorship, with the goal of having students return and be mentors to future generations.

The LGBTQ+ Resource Center is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment for students of all identities across the gender, sexual, and romantic spectrums. We provide resources and programming that center intersectionality, cultivate queer kinship, and empower 2SLGBTQIA+ students toward growth and success.

The Power of Connection through Storytelling (30 Minutes)

• This interactive session introduces the concept of storytelling as a tool for creating authentic connections. Participants will engage in a guided activity to share a meaningful experience and discover commonalities with their peers.

Introduction to Identity and Social Justice (45 minutes):

• This workshop will explore the basics of social identity, power & privilege, and intersectionality. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their own identities, how those identities may be privileged or marginalized, and how they can be better advocates for equity and social justice.

Queer & Trans Accompliceship 101 (45 minutes):

• This workshop will give participants a foundational understanding of gender, sexuality, and intersectionality within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and beyond. Students will reflect on their unconscious biases about queer and transgender people, and will learn strategies for moving beyond allyship and toward accompliceship.

Supporting Student Success: Multicultural Services and Programs (20 minutes):

• This workshop highlights Bellevue College’s Multicultural Services and programs designed to support students from diverse backgrounds. Learn about the Umoja Program, Puente Program, LGBTQ+ Resource Center, TRIO and Veterans Resource Center, each offering a unique resource to foster academic success and personal growth.
