Unity in Diversity with Christ as Our Hope

At Covenant College, we learn from the perspectives of each and every student that joins our student body because we believe Jesus Christ makes himself known in diversity. Our diverse student body—comprised of American students in an ethnic majority and minority, international students, and third culture students—promises you a culturally enriching experience.

The Intercultural Program, The IP, coordinated by the Associate Dean of Students, Student Life, and student leaders, encourages our campus community to appreciate the various cultures and ethnicities in our midst and globally. They provide educational resources and opportunities for celebration for all of campus and create intentional spaces for students of ethnic and cultural minorities.

Educational Resources and Celebrations include Heritage Month Celebrations, Conversations about Culture and Race, a weekly Global Prayer Watch email, and the Culture Fest celebration in the Spring.

Intentional and specific spaces for students in cultural or ethnic minorities on campus include the Intercultural Program Center, Alkebulan Student Association for African students, the McRae-Zellner Project for African American students, the Diverso Club for our Hispanic and Latino/a students, and the Mu Kappa Club for Missionary and Third Culture Kids. We also have an ever-growing International Student Support Network which provides resources and encouragement for our students studying here on F-1 visas.
