The Multicultural Programming Committee’s Mission

The Multicultural Programming Committee’s primary mission is to coordinate and implement comprehensive educational, cultural and social programs that celebrate diverse cultural contributions. These programmatic efforts are designed to promote dialogue while creating opportunity for students to develop and expand their cultural competencies. This knowledge combats biases, bigotry, and racism. The ultimate goal is to expose and educate all students to understand and appreciate racial and ethnic differences.
