Cultural Engagement Programs

Cultural engagement programs provide opportunities for all students, faculty, staff and the community to experience the practice, celebration, and demonstration of culture. Through a variety of performances and presentations, cultural engagement programs allow the community to experience the visual and performing arts as well as social and entertainment events. These programs serve to enhance the campus climate and social environment by providing opportunities for cultural interaction.

The World Cultural Festival

The Word Cultural Festival is a cultural kick off to the year with cultural performances, a global bazaar, cultural demonstrations, and a Taste of the Diaspora (International Food Samples). This is one of the major cultural festivals hosted by the institution.    

The Spoken Word Lounge

The Spoken World Lounge is a partnership between The Paul Robeson Cultural Center and the residence life original program, entitled Bed, was created in the spirit of the bed time story-when bedtime was a quiet reflective time and an opportunity to impart wisdom and share values. In 2007, the program was renamed Dream and a Dream Big Slam contest was added to the structure. And in 2008, the program continued to reinvent itself with a new name, “The Stoop,” which reiterates the spirit of neighborhood connectedness and community building. Whatever the format and feel of the program, our lounge always offers a venue for expression of the spoken word and musical art.

The Lunchroom

The Lunchroom is an opportunity for students to take a afternoon break from their rigorous academic schedules and participate in a fun and socially engaging space inside the Paul Robeson Cultural Center! The Lunchroom features music, visual displays, playing cards, board games, competitions, and FREE food reminiscent of a high school lunch period like potato wedges, sandwiches, and chicken nuggets!  The Lunchroom has featured an late 80's -early 90's theme, as well as a millienum edition featuring music and activites from those respective eras. The Lunchroom is a great opportunity for students to engage with their friends, roommates, mentees, student organization members, and study buddies!
