ABOUT US

Inspired by President Bill Clinton's national conversations about race, The Interracial Communications  Project:  Beyond Boundaries, develops within student leaders a better understanding of the causes and consequences of racism in America. Located on our southern HBCU (historically black college/university) campus, the Project strives to expand students' ability to think critically and openly about issues of race and ethnicity. The Project offers student leaders an opportunity to participate in discussions about racism and race relations.  Students are encouraged to establish a framework and set the tone for the kinds of interactions that will occur across racial lines in the twenty-first century.

The motive of the Interracial Communications Project is to bring together all students to make students, faculty, staff, and the community aware about issues concerning matters or racism, stereotypes, oppression, and biases. ICP is open to all and will not deny membership to any person on the basis of race, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical handicap, color, martial status, national origin, language or creed.

The purpose of ICP is to develop student leaders to better understand the causes and consequences or racism in America. It strives to expand student's ability to think critically and openly about issues of race and ethnicity. The organization provides activities that enhance cultural sensitivity at Savannah State University and in the local community.

We want  to explore the inextricable relationship between race, culture, and communication. Specific attention will geared toward the construction of one’s own racial/ethnic identity, as well as those of other groups.
