Programs and Events
Multicultural Affairs plans, coordinates, and hosts interactive events to engage our campus community around the central themes of identity, culture, heritage, differences, justice and service. Our cross-departmental and campus partnerships help us infuse a diversity of disciplines and expertise into our programs and events.
Cultural Awareness Weeks
As an institution, we believe in celebrating and acknowledging the contributions of cultural groups to our campus and to our world.

(Un)Common Grounds
Each semester, Multicultural Affairs facilitates a monthly dialogue program designed to invite challenging and transformative conversations on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, and disability. This space is an opportunity for participants to explore their own cultural identity, understand the experiences of others, critically examine social systems and actively work towards a more just world. Conversations are moderated by faculty, staff, and community leaders that are able to bring unique perspectives to each discussion.
