Business and Cultural Directory

The purpose of the Business and Cultural Directory is to provide students with some options for meeting their cultural, beauty and dietary needs. Enclosed is a brief listing of cultural centers, houses of worship, salons and barbershops, restaurants, etc. Please plan out your visits by calling the locations for hours and become familiar with the surrounding community.

The Office of Multicultural Programs would like to hear about your experiences and if you have recommendations for next year’s directory, please email us at [email protected].
