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.
For more information on the co-curricular programs, please email lbissoondial@worcester.edu
The Antiracism subcommittee grew out of the work of the Multicultural Programming Committee and from the Anti-Black Racism Town Hall & Forum where students requested to see more programming on campus in response to cross-racial and cultural topics.
This newly formed subcommittee began meeting in the Spring 2022 semester with a purpose to be the bridge between the students, faculty, and administration regarding student service and support with intentionality around transparency, visibility, communication and giving voice to students’ ideas and thoughts around cross racial and cultural topics for programming and workshops, with an explicit focus on issues of race.
