“Students have the opportunity to openly celebrate their cultural traditions and beliefs while also learning about the culture and beliefs of others.

“In this “decade of commemorations” we have the maturity and confidence to take a measured look at the events of the past century that has molded our society and our people. The experience of their time at this Integrated College will allow our students to transcend the barriers and attitudes that continue to inhibit many of the adults and politicians in our communities.”
