Alana Cultural Center

As we step into 2026, we do so with confidence and gratitude. Together, our Center offered about 100 programs last year - work made possible through strong partnerships, student leadership, and a shared commitment to community and learning. We are proud of what we’ve built and excited to continue growing alongside our partners in the year ahead.

So here we are wishing you a year filled with health, purpose, and meaningful moments. Below are our professional staff, Social Justice Peer Educators, Intergroup Dialogue Interns, and ALANA Ambassadors welcoming 2026 with enthusiasm, reflection, and a renewed commitment to collaboration and impact. Go Gate!

This week has been another very busy and productive one as we wrap up the Fall semester with several meaningful final events. These included Cooking Around the World featuring Belizean dishes, Just Dance Competition, Gingerbread House Making, the Page Turners Book Discussion (with sincere thanks for the generous financial contribution from Diane Ciccone ’74), and the Brothers Volunteer Initiative in Oneida County.

Together, these programs created opportunities for connection, learning, and community building as we close out the Fall semester.
