Internship Program

Interns during the 2020-2021 year researched and created programs based on their career or academic interests. These programs, referred to as Self-Initiated Programs (SIPs), infused their passion for social justice and their life trajectory into a culminating research project. They met with faculty mentors to help them develop their understanding of the topic, as well as learn about potential career and research opportunities. A highlight from this year was “Ethical Code in Psychological Research.” This program presented the history of Ethical Code, Eugenics, and what research communities in Psychology are doing to address historical grievances of marginalized groups. A total of 91 engaged in the topic. Additional sources to learn more about the topic were offered for those who attended the live program.

Student Centered Programming

Most notable was the CCC’s work with a UC San Diego Ethnic Studies Department graduate student in collaboration with the Office of Graduate Studies. Conversation and writing programs for graduate students were hosted. Space was created for graduate students to present their research. Also of note were three pre-recorded outreach programs called “Cooking with the Cross.” These programs provided a pathway to draw students into the CCC’s virtual Center through brief presentations on topics related to environmentalism and tutorials on cooking quick, easy, and healthy meals.
