Meet the MCC Staff

Meet our Fall 2023 - Spring 2024 Staff!

The Multicultural Resource Center is comprised of student staff, also known as the Scholar Coordinators. The student staff manage the cultural space, organize events and programs for diverse cultural communities, and serve as the primary point of contact to all the resource center needs.
