Check out this page and remember to like it. The committee overlooks the Common Purpose Ambassador Program in which 14 students got the chance to travel to NCORE: National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education which was held in New Orleans earlier this summer.

Like the page to keep in check with opportunities to become a Common Purpose Ambassador.

Founded in 1987, the Committee To Advance Our Common Purposes champions our individual and collective humanity and respect for our differences.

If anyone can make it to the Center for Latino Arts & Culture at 3pm today, PLEASE come out and support! Cultural centers have always served to support students and always had students first in mind.

For the APIA community here at Rutgers, it was the solidarity of the students from all the umbrella cultural organizations who came together and fought for a larger space. We must not forget.

“Today at 3 we need as many people as possible to come to the CLAC for 10-15 min. We are currently fighting for a bigger space, financial aid, recruitment, retention & underrepresented student visibility which is CRUCIAL. The CLAC serves us & our organizations as more than just a space, it's a home away from home and we'd like to make our home bigger & more available to others. PLEASE try to make it, spread the word, this is EXTREMELY important.”
