WELCOME TO THE MULTICULTURAL CENTER
91社区's Multicultural Center (MCC) was established in 1994 to enhance the personal and academic success of students by preparing them to be responsible citizens in a multicultural society. Opportunities are created to provide cultural interaction between students, the campus and the community at large to provide outreach experiences and to promote cultural awareness and sensitivity. We accomplish this by sponsoring programs, providing services, advising organizations, hosting events and conducting training both on and off campus, as well as assisting in the recruitment of students. The MCC champions collaborative efforts focusing on belonging. The MCC provides a welcoming space where students can engage academically, culturally, and socially. We are committed in providing students with meaningful and strategic opportunities that will help them grow professionally and personally, as a way to prepare them to live in a local and global society.
