Dreamer, Health, LGBTQ+, and SparkPoint Center

Spring 2021 student leaders within Associated Students of Diablo Valley College repurposed the multicultural center as a collaborative effort with the college to create the Dreamer, Health, LGBTQ+ and SparkPoint Center. The expected opening is fall 2022.

Previously, student leadership within the Associated Students of Diablo Valley College (ASDVC) and Diversity Affairs Committee (DAC), identified a need in 2014 for more inclusive campus space for students. With a committed, steady effort in partnership with the College, the Multicultural Center was developed and implemented.
