DIRC is home to eight resource centers and host of numerous educational initiatives for students of Cal State Fullerton. Each of our spaces offers students a home away from home, an inclusive space for students to be their authentic selves, and co-curricular engagement opportunities for students to develop deeper understanding of their identities and those of others.
