Remote Engagement
Academic and Faculty Engagement DJ and music Professor King Britt was our Faculty Artist in Residence. King Britt collaborated with the Cross-Cultural Center and invited community to participate in select class sessions on Blacktronika: Afrofuturism in Electronic Music featuring interactive interview sessions with renowned musical artists. Special sound guests expressed their creative process and ways the social landscape of the time shaped their music and the industry. Additionally, King Britt partnered with UCSD’s ArtPower and the Cross-Cultural Center to bring digital exhibits and 2 nights of Sound of Humanity with musical producers. Also, staff engaged with academic departments and faculty in areas of social equity consultations, trainings, campus-wide program planning such as UCSD’s first 21-Day Anti-Racism Challenge panel presentations, book presentation and reading groups, podcast, and cultural celebrations such as Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage.
CCC staff supported campus on national issues. This included over 360 hours in EDI Programs and Events that supported DEI content. Of note, was Center staff leadership in the 21-Day Anti-Racism Challenge where over 4,000 faculty, staff and students went through an intensive 4 weeks of reading articles, watching videos, and attending webinars on Anti-Black Racism. Staff also took advantage of remote professional development with activities like national conference presentations and attendance as well as building skills in remote programs, national/political higher education trends, and technical training. CCC staff engaged in over 280 hours of professional development. The CCC expanded its reach with over 100 connections, keeping faculty and staff abreast of Center opportunities and programs. Fourteen new student organization connections were made, resulting in 11 unique programs/workshops, such as a Transfer Student Mixer. Of those 14, the Affiliate Program increased its membership with 6 new student organizations. A total of 1,038 viewed post-live program recordings on the CCC’s YouTube Channel.
