In 2014 SRJC received their first HSI grant. One of their four goals was to establish a multicultural center. In 2015 a temporary space in the Santa Rosa campus' Barnett Hall's ESL computer lab was shared for this purpose. In January 2017 MI CASA (Multicultural Innovation Center for Academic Success and Achievement) was officially opened in the newly renovated Garcia Hall. When that HSI grant ended in 2019, MI CASA closed. In fall of 2019, the north side of Pioneer Hall was identified as a future location for the Santa Rosa Intercultural Center and envisioning the space began with various SRJC stakeholders. Yet in March 2020 SRJC transitioned remotely and everything was placed on hold. Staff of the Office of Student Equity began providing virtual programming, services, and events to continue to align with the cultural center work. In Fall 2022 SRJC went back to in-person classes and we officially opened the Santa Rosa Intercultural Center physical space. 

Fun fact: The Our House Intercultural Center, on the Petaluma campus was established to be MI CASA's sister center. Our House was named as such to pair with the name MI CASA (which is Spanish for "My House").
