Our recently renovated Student Diversity Centers, the SDC (Student Diversity Center) and SJC (Social Justice Center), are located on 13th & Lawrence.
They are directly across from the Center for Student Support (The Yellow House) and are blue and sage colored, respectively. Check them out through a virtual tour!
The Student Diversity and Social Justice Centers (SDC & SJC) support student success through programs and shared spaces that bring awareness to, honor, and uplift the wide range of students' identities at Puget Sound. Though open to all who strive for equity and inclusion, the SDCs especially serve students who identify as historically underrepresented by way of ethnicity, race, gender, religion, documentation status, socioeconomic class, first generation (in higher education), and LGBTQ+ identities. The SDC encourages solidarity within shared identities; collaboration amongst diverse student groups; and recognizes the importance of communal spaces for historically marginalized/minoritized persons. The Centers also are a gathering space for all who hope to work toward a more equitable campus, city, and world.
