Multicultural engagement programs

We're here to support you through your time in the College of LAS. To get a great start, check out some of these programs offered to help students of color connect and build community.

In recognition of the diverse identities within our community, our support groups welcome individuals of all genders. While we have separate groups designated for men and women, we affirm that non-binary individuals are welcome to join the group they feel most comfortable in. Our aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment for all students, regardless of gender identity.
