Center for Inclusion
The Center for Inclusion at Manhattanville College provides educational cultural and social programming, mentoring, training, comprehensive resources, and materials to facilitate and support the development and enhanced understanding of different cultures, ethnicities, backgrounds, and experiences. In doing so, the center supports students’ academic, social, cultural, and personal well-being and will allow students the opportunity to empower and educate themselves, their peers, and their community.
Our main priority is to establish and maintain an environment that supports, values, and respects every Manhattanville student, faculty, and staff regardless of race, class, gender, age, sexual preference, disabilities, nationality, religion, or beliefs. The center exhibits this commitment by:
- Conducting regular programming which covers topics such as: intercultural dialogue and conflict, social identity, power, privilege and oppression and how to be an active ally
- Providing space for students, staff and faculty to come together and dialogue about hot button issues affecting our community. The resource center has books, videos, and other learning tools to foster difficult communication
- Bringing dynamic speakers and events to campus as well as creating partnerships with local and national organizations to provide students the opportunity to learn from the best in regards to social justice education and training
The Center for Inclusion is located in Founder’s Gallery.
Manhattanville Advancement Program (MAP)
MAP is a scholarship program that provides educational opportunity and support to economically disadvantaged students. Beyond the traditional academic focus of most scholarship programs, MAP encourages the development of the student as a whole; intellectually, ethically and socially. The MAP scholarship is a four-year commitment for incoming first semester freshman. Students receive a broad range of services including academic, personal, and career counseling. Students participate in a Pre-Freshman Summer Bridge Program, community service and partake in educational events, tutoring and career counseling.
Manhattanville First Generation College Student Program
The First Generation College Student Program will provide targeted support and programs to students who identify as first generation. Manhattanville defines first generation college students as neither parent having a BA degree. The center will be offering monthly workshops and speakers that will assist first generation college students through their four-year journey at Manhattanville. We will also offer periodic resources and opportunities. If interested in learning more about the program, please visit the Center for Inclusion located in Founders Gallery.
