EBTCC Vision Statement:
As a part of the University of North Dakota, we believe that the Era Bell Thompson Cultural Center (EBTCC) provides a comfortable atmosphere where people can gather, relax, and share their experiences. The Center offers a full-size kitchen, lounge area, cable TV, computers, and a conference room.

Everyone, regardless of ethnicity, is encouraged to visit the Center and take part in its activities.

EBTCC Mission Statement:
The center's mission is to provide an environment in which all students can feel comfortable in celebrating their cultural heritage.

The overarching goal of the center is to provide a base from which African, Hispanic/Latino and Asian American students can have a positive experience at UND and in the Greater Grand Forks communities, while making significant contributions to the personal and intellectual growth of these individuals.
