BILL HISTORY
The Dennis Small Third World Center functions as a multicultural center for the
CU-Boulder campus. It began its operations in the Spring of 1987 as a project of
the Educational Development Program, in collaboration with the Center for
Multicultural Counseling and Community Development and primarily serves as a
forum for ethnic minority cultural expression. "The Center" aspires to serve the
University community in two ways:
1) to enhance diversity within the CU-Boulder community,

2) and to promote positive interaction of ethnic minority students with
the academic and social environments of the campus.
This center was named after the late Dennis Small- A Black administrator who
eagerly contributed his skills in mediation and understanding to help the student
body through a time of great political and social conflict on college campuses
across the nation. Upon Dennis' leaving, the student body had developed a strong
sense of solidarity, purpose and respect for other's differences. The Dennis Small
Third World Center upholds this legacy today.
The center offers an interesting array of activities, from ethnic art displays to
multicultural sensitivity workshops to Native American Pow Wows. The entire
university community is encouraged to share and contribute to the presentation and
understanding of America's rich ethnic cultures.
The Dennis Small Third World Center has expanded in both programming and
outreach. We are undergoing extensive physical renovation that will make the
center accessible to a larger variety of programming possibilities. We are
requesting funds to purchase four (4) lamps and end tables to light one part of the
center that has no conventional lighting and will be closed off from the larger room
by an accordion wall. This area will be largely used as a small meeting area and
tutorial/study area. This way we can hold two events at the same time. We now
have more room usage requests than we can honor. Renovations to up this point
have been funded by the Office of the Chancellor, Office of the Vice Chancellor,
and the UMC director's office. For more information please see the attached
improvements budget.
