Multicultural Student Programs

Motivate. Educate. Advocate. Celebrate.
The Multicultural Student Programs (MSP) provides support for students of color on campus through academic initiatives, cultural enrichment programs, student organizations, and connecting students to the alumni network. The program is committed to their success, and every effort will be made to ensure that each student’s academic journey is a rewarding one.

 

 

 
MOREMORE (Multicultural Organization Reaching Equality) and La Fuerza are our multicultural student organizations that foster student development through diversity and promoting cultural differences on campus and in the community as a whole. These organizations commit to establishing partnerships with other campus organizations with enthusiasm and takes a proactive role in the development of strong student leadership.​ The goal of these organizations is to foster an awareness and appreciation for all cultures through personal relations and programming. These activities range from BBQs, soul food lunch, salsa nights, social outings, Friendsgiving dinners, and lectures; these organizations take pride in promoting and helping create a space not just for Latinos, African Americans, and Asian Americans, but for anyone who wants to join.
