The Multicultural Center (MC) is a hub for advocacy, community, and cultural celebration. It’s where you’ll find events, leadership opportunities, and real support. Grow your skills, explore new perspectives, and connect with a community that sees you.

Built for You. Built for Belonging.

This is your space—to show up, speak out, and be yourself.
Explore new ideas. Get guidance. Push your thinking.
Find your people and find new people.
Grow in who you are—and go further than you thought possible.

Being an MC Ambassador means more than just holding a title — it’s about showing up for students who need to feel seen and heard. It means creating spaces where people from all backgrounds feel welcome, valued, and supported. For me, it’s about using my voice, my passion, and my experiences to help build a campus where every student knows they belong.
