CCC Student Organization Partnership (C-SOP) Program
The CCC Student Organization Partnership Program (C-SOP) (formerly known as the Affiliate Program) is designed to encourage intentional and equitable collaborations between the Cross-Cultural Center (CCC) and Registered Campus Organizations (RCOs) that align with the CCC’s core values.
This program is dedicated to developing leadership skills rooted in social justice principles. It fosters coalition building and promotes critical reflection on equity. C-SOP serves as a dynamic space for student groups to engage in activism, with a strong commitment to intersectionality and justice, driving significant initiatives both on campus and in the broader community.
