Menu United Common Ground is a student organization that focuses on equity, inclusion, and multiculturalism.
UCG hosts programs on campus, virtually, and even offers hybrid events. These events raise awareness, consciousness, and understanding about marginalized, as well as oppressed groups in a safe, open, and welcoming environment.
