Community Advocacy is the name of the department in Student Life, which 
includes Multicultural and International Student Services (and the 
Lebron-Wiggins-Pran Cultural Center); Queer Student Services (and the 
Queer Community Alliance Center); Women Student Services (and the Center 
for Feminisms); Spiritual Life (and the Spiritual Life Center); and

Community Advocacy at Hampshire College promotes the wellbeing of the 
entire campus community, fosters connections across social identities 
and ideas, and engages in passionate and compassionate dialogue and 
programs.  We support and provide resources for the holistic development 
of students with the goals of nourishing student initiatives; increasing 
awareness and appreciation of different cultures, backgrounds, and 
perspectives; encouraging understanding and mutual respect as we 
actively work towards social change.
