We are committed to enhancing the experience of domestic and international underrepresented groups by offering co-curricular programming, student support and engagement, identity development initiatives, and opportunities for comprehensive learning and development.
“The Intercultural Center became my home away from home on campus since I first stepped on campus. They create an inclusive atmosphere where I can be myself and build meaningful connections. The intercultural center and the staff have helped shape my college experience and help me grow into the leader I am today.”

“The IC has become a very special place for me, it’s the place where I can be my most transparent self, I am accepted and embraced for who I am and where I come from. This has become my home away from home.”
Vianney Manjarrez (’24)
“The IC is the perfect to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. I love meeting new people there and being able to share my own culture and background with others.”

The film analyzes representations of disability and disabled people in Hollywood films from Tod Browning’s Freaks to Guillermo del Toro’s Shape of Water. Moving beyond the question of casting, the film investigates the stereotypical, harmful narratives of disability in film: the framing of disability as “inspiration,” the portrayal of villains as disabled, the celebration of the death of a disabled character as a happy ending. By centering disabled voices – disabled actors, visual artists, novelists, comedians, as well as scholars of disability – it provides a critically needed intervention into discussions around film plots and representations. The film screening will be followed by Q&A with one of the film’s creators and producers, Dr. Alyson Patsavas.
