Historical Background
The University of California, Irvine Cross Cultural Center, also known on campus as "the Cross," was founded on October 16,
1974 by a group of UCI faculty, staff, and students who recognized the need to create a social-cultural support system for
ethnic minority students. It is the first multicultural center founded on a University of California campus. At the time of
its foundation, the Cross' stated purpose was "to create Third World interaction, student outreach, and provide necessary
information to the minority community on campus." The first director was Dr. Larry Onoda, a psychologist from UCI's Counseling
Center. In partnership with students, faculty, and staff, the Cross Cultural Center develops a series of programs, activities,
and services to support the emerging needs of UCI's growing underrepresented student population.
The Cross was originally housed in a 1,800 square foot, temporary building located across the Ring Mall from the School of
Humanities. In 1976, the first of several murals was designed and painted by students. The mural was developed under the direction
of Manuel Hernandez, a visiting lecturer in Studio Art. It depicts prominent historical figures who were voices for equality
and justice. It also portrays significant events in the annals of California's minority communities.. In the late 1980s, changing
demographics and campus growth necessitated expansion and relocation. After considerable campus debate about its location,
the Cross moved to the Ring Mall across from the Administration Building (now Aldrich Hall) and reopened on April 18, 1989.
The original mural was moved to the new building and is now prominently displayed in the lounge. The Cross later underwent
another expansion, reopening in late 2007.
The annual Rainbow Festival, now known as the Community Roots Festival, is one of the Cross's signature programs and long-standing
traditions. Established in 1984, the festival has served as a multicultural program model for other colleges and universities.
The Community Roots Festival is a celebration of cultural and ethnic diversity and features speakers, performances, workshops,
booths for affiliated student organizations, contests, and a community resource fair. Other signature programs include the
annual Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium which takes place during early winter quarter and features the Dr. Joseph L. White
Lecture, workshops, and a service-learning project in collaboration with the Office of Campus Organizations & Volunteer Programs.
Previous keynote lectures have been delivered by thought leaders including Yolanda King, Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, Charles
Ogletree, Julian Bond, Harry Belafonte, Lani Guinier, and Tim Wise. Other long standing programs at the Cross include Deconstruction
Zone, the Multicultural Leadership Retreat, the Summer Multicultural Leadership Institute, the Faculty-in-Residence Program,
and the Cross-Cultural Center Awards.
The Cross has been a center of activism on campus since its establishment. In the spring of 1991 affiliated student organizations
within the Cross established the Ethnic Students Coalition Against Prejudicial Education (E.S.C.A.P.E.), a group that campaigned
for the establishment of ethnic studies programs at UCI. Many student organizations were unified in this effort and sponsored
several major rallies to generate campus support. In 1993 students held a 35-day rotational hunger strike in an effort to
establish an Asian American Studies program as well petition for an additional staff member for the Cross. This protest received
considerable media attention and galvanized the local Asian American community.
In 1993, a mural conceived by the well-known muralist, Judy Baca, was installed in the Ring Room. Commissioned by the National
Institute of Mental Health for the National Conference on Refugee Services, and undertaken as a mural class project by UCI
students, this mural depicts the silent suffering of Asian/Vietnamese and Latino/Central American refugee communities. During
the 2011-2012 academic year, students led by graduate student Yaron Hakim and 2010 alumna Edwina Dai, both from UCI's Department
of Studio Arts, created the Cross' third mural. Though untitled, this mural was created to give voice to students who were
wanting to express their values and perspectives during a time in which their education was threatened by the drastic cuts
throughout the state – a result of a national economic crisis. The mural is now hung immediately outside of the Dr. Joseph
L. White Room.
In July 1999, Corina Espinoza departed UCI for a position at California State University, Bakersfield. Corina had served 15
years in various staff positions at the Cross-Cultural Center, nine as Director. After serving as Acting Director, Anna K.
Gonzalez became Director of the Cross-Cultural Center in 2000. In 2008, Anna departed UCI for a position as Associate Vice
Chancellor of Student Affairs and Director of the Office for Inclusion and Intercultural Relations at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign. Upon Anna's departure, Kevin Huie was hired as the Director of the Cross-Cultural Center and served in
this role until July 2015. Jade K. Agua joined us from Santa Clara University in December 2015 and served as Director until
May 2018 and left for an opportunity to join the USC Race and Equity Center. In May 2018, Marcela Ramirez-Stapleton joined
the Cross-Cultural Center as Interim Director.
Five student umbrella organizations are recognized by the Cross: Alyansa ng mga Kababayan (Pilipino), American Indian Student
Association (AISA), Asian Pacific Student Association (APSA), Black Student Union (BSU), and Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano
de Aztlán (MEChA). More than 50 individual organizations exist under these five umbrella organizations.

In March 2019, materials and publications created by student organizations that were previously transferred with the Cross
Cultural Center records were separated from the collection and integrated with already existing collections (e.g. Black Student

records) to better reflect their provenance.
The following collections contain materials that were previously stored in the Cross Cultural Center records:
