The MCC fills a number of special niches on the UC Santa Barbara campus and within the greater Santa Barbara community. The MCC:
- Provides UC Santa Barbara students from underrepresented communities with a safe space in which they feel supported, acknowledged, heard, and seen
- Hosts special series, such as the Race Matters Series, that intensely focus the MCC’s ongoing efforts to address racism—including institutional racism—and to achieve racial equality
- Presents the Santa Barbara community with cutting-edge performers whose art provokes conversation, debate, and action related to pressing social issue
- Educates the public and raises their awareness of constituencies—such as the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities—that are marginalized and discriminated against by society
- Creates forums for the inclusive, respectful exchange of ideas that characterizes discourse in a civil society such as ours
- Supports visual artists through presentation of their socially informed work in the MCC’s gallery
- Offers premium facilities, such as the MCC theatre, lounge, and fully equipped kitchen, for use by student groups in their outreach and advocacy efforts
