This week, Clemson celebrated the opening of the Harvey and Lucinda Gantt Multicultural Center’s new and improved space. Previously housed in the University Union, the Gantt Center’s lack of space and resources became one of the primary subjects of the Sikes Sit In, which began in April of 2016. Student protesters published a list of demands which included a new space for the Center that would serve as a central location and safe space for students of color to engage with each other.
President Jim Clements and his leadership team commemorated the opening of this new space September 19, 2016 with an open house. The Director of the Multicultural Center, Altheia Richardson introduced staff members and graduate assistants and advised visitors to make use of all the space.
The Center is now located on the third floor of Brackett Hall.
