    Departmental Overview

    The Centers for Educational Justice and Community Engagement (EJCE) is collaborative charged with developing programs, activities, and strategies that promote students' academic progress and success by engaging them through intersectional and multicultural practices that acknowledge and celebrate their individual and collective experiences. The EJCE collaborative coordinates a series of academic courses and educational and multicultural activities through its centers & offices (African American Student Development, Fannie Lou Hamer Black Resource Center, Asian Pacific American Student Development, Chicanx Latinx Student Development, Latinx Student Resource Center, the Gender Equity Resource Center, Multicultural Community Center, Native American Student Development, and the Native Community Center). The collaborative is a key campus partner in helping the campus create an inclusive environment for student populations through intersectional and transformative practices and approaches focused on mitigating harm and promoting connections among and across diverse communities.

This grant is awarded through the Department of Education (DoE) which aims to support the social, emotional, and academic success and integration of current and prospective Pacific Islander (PI) and Southeast Asian (SEA) students, specifically at UC Berkeley.
