Multicultural Student Initiative

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. -- Corinthians 5:18-20 (NIV)

Mission

The Purpose of the Multicultural Student Initiative is to create cultural awareness and a safe environment where every student can learn from and celebrate diversity through cultural pluralism in education, activities, dialogue, and programs. logo

undergraduates for graduate school, a research conference and social
