In August 1994, a group of professionals gathered in the Cross-Cultural Center at the University of California, Irvine to discuss issues and exchange information important to multicultural/cross-cultural centers on college campuses. For the next three years, meetings were held on a quarterly basis and hosted by different centers and campuses throughout California. We discussed and deliberated, analyzed, argued, and embraced. We were brought together by the common purpose and shared vision of reaffirming the work of centers, programs, and individuals committed to the strength and value of diversity.

We represent a unique intersegmental collaboration. Today, we are pleased to introduce the California Council of Cultural Centers in Higher Education (CaCCCHE).
