The Cultural Awareness Program (CAP) of Emmanuel College is a series of cultural events open to students and the public. Their purpose is to help who attend learn the value of discovering insights from listening to and reflecting upon a diversity of cultural expressions. The Cultural Awareness Program intends to stretch minds, enlarge personal preferences and promote better understanding of the broader diversity of esthetic experiences and beliefs. We believe so strongly in this that we require our students to attend at least three CAP events per year of full time enrollment.
