Centers of Inquiry

Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity

The Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity (CSCRE) prepares students to live in a multiracial and polycultural world by understanding how race and ethnicity shape an individual's identity and life chances. To this end, the Center offers courses that engage with the experiences of ALANA people (African-Americans, Latino/a-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Native-Americans) who are generally marginalized, under-represented, or misrepresented in the U.S. as well as in the curriculum.

Gerontology Institute

The Ithaca College Gerontology Institute promotes and supports research, curriculum development, continuing education, community service, and creative arts activities that focus on aging. A primary goal of the institute is to provide opportunities for students to learn about aging and careers in gerontology through courses, internships, volunteer activities, and involvement in research projects and professional organizations.
