Senate: Multicultural Affairs

The mission of the Multicultural Affairs Committee is to promote diversity on campus by creating policy initiatives and acting as a liaison between the student body and the multicultural groups on campus. The committee’s initiatives have a special focus on engaging all students regardless of ethnic heritage. Past initiatives include improving resources for Native American students, organizing a service day in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and increasing students’ exposure to diversity in the classroom through recommendations of diverse faculty and courses with a cultural focus. This year an International Showcase and Student Government involvement with Spring Visitation Weekends will be some of the Multicultural Affairs Committee’s initiatives.
