Programs & Events

The mission of the Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers (DIRC) at Cal State Fullerton provides inclusive spaces that foster a sense of belonging for students of diverse identities and champion student success across campus. DIRC lives out this mission by: 

  • Empowering students to succeed and thrive academically, personally, professionally, and in their identity development through education and engagement.
  • Celebrating the accomplishments, cultural wealth, and lived experiences of our diverse student communities.
  • Developing institutional capacity for equity-mindedness to advance holistic student success.

Signature Programs

DIRC and each of the centers within host signature programs that are designed for and with our students. Our programs and events are what DIRC is really known for! We strive to always make our programs relevant to the current experiences, interests, and needs of CSUF students. The majority of our programs are collaborative in nature. All of our students hold multiple identities, so many of our programs are partnerships between two or more centers or partnerships with other departments and offices on campus. Our programs take many forms including in-person events in our centers in the Pollak Libary, virtual programs on Zoom, educational programs on Instagram, and even community building programs on Discord.

Our signature programs

Some of our biggest programs of the year are our end-of-year cultural recognition celebrations where we recognize graduating students and celebrate with their families and friends.
