Cultural Center's Interests
|
| General | 
The Boise University Cultural Center exists to serve all the students of Boise State University irregardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, gender identity or ethnicity. It’s goals are ambitious and it’s focus is simple. We want to be a place where people come to discuss issues they might not be able to discuss anywhere else. We want to facilitate cross cultural understanding by raising awareness about the steps of identity development. We want to host passionate discussions and answer burning questions. We want to allow students to learn more about how to get involved with issues of social justice, equal opportunity and access. We’d like students to come away with new ways of thinking and challenging themselves to redefine notions of “tradition” and “diversity”. We want students to be agents of the social change they want to see. | | Music | 
We have had the pleasure of hiring several local very talented artists and we reccomend these ones:
Rochelle Smith- catch her at local venues for a treat! Her blend of vocals and guitar are a beautiful mixture.
Becca George- she usually performs with Rochelle Smith. This young lady will blow you away with her voice.
Kritik-She raps about social issues and motivates! Catch her at local venues.
Double O Ryders- from Ontario Oregon. These two talented young rappers have performed for us and brought the house down in English and Spanish.
Proverb- a local rapper who keeps his raps clean and real.
Elisabeth Blin- This talented guitarist performs French and Brazilian music flawlessly. She usually perfoms at the Cafe du Paris in downtown Boise. | | Movies |

About me:
Welcome to the Boise State University Cultural Center's MySpace! We have created this account to interact with those that are interested in the work we do on campus. A large part of what we do is raise awareness about things that do not normally get discussed. You will read things on our site that you may never have considered, thought about, agree with or support. We encourage that you become a member of our site with open mind and open heart and understand that dialogue is a step in the right direction.
Our mission: The Cultural Center at Boise State University is committed to raising awareness and understanding about marginalized and oppressed groups in both minority and dominant culture, creating understanding about the needs of these groups and providing opportunities to all for action and interaction. We focus on education in the areas of identity development, issues of power and privilege, social justice and internalized oppression and promote an environment where people with different values and beliefs are treated with
respect and dignity.
