Community Space & Resources

We offer a home away from home on the UCSD campus. Students, staff, faculty and the community are welcome to come chill at "the Cross", use our kitchen, meet with friends, or take a nap. The CCC is always full with students doing homework, attending meetings, socializing, praying, eating and sleeping. In addition to the community space for relaxing, we also offer the following community resources...

• A lending library with over 2,000 books and videos available for free community use. Online catalog available for UCSD affiliated folks to browse.
• The ArtSpace supports local artists by showcasing the work of students and San Diego community members, particularly those working around themes of culture and social justice issues. We are always looking for artists to showcase. Check out the ArtSpace page for more information.
