Diversity Community Engagement Internship Program (DCEP)
The Diversity Community Engagement Program (DCEP) is designed to expand students’ career readiness and community engagement skills through an internship hosted by the Office of Diversity, Equity, & Engagement, its seven Centers for Cultural Understanding and Social Change (CCUSC), and their community partners. By participating in the DCEP internship, students will build professional competencies and relationships, develop decision-making skills, gain knowledge on purpose and value of academic and community partnerships, and develop interpersonal skills that can transfer to their future careers. Through this internship, students will also identify pressing social issues impacting local communities and expand their capacity while learning of relevant solutions to community needs.
The BCC's DCEP interns work on a variety of projects and initiatives during the BCC. They participate in the creation of our exhibits, programs, and work on various projects/initiatives and work directly with our staff through out their time with us. Some examples of the work that our interns have spearheaded or collaborated on include: The Carver Roots of Justice Exhibit, Late Nite at the BCC, Black Student Involvement Fair, Mindfulness Mondays, BCC social media/graphics and Queer Kickback.
