MCC Fall 2009 Town Hall Meeting for Primary User Groups

The MultiCultural Center was born after severely underrepresented students of color at UCSB demanded the creation of a hospitable and safe space for their use. Through educational programming, such a space was intended to promote changes in attitudes and behaviors throughout the campus community. The MCC strives to support student activism and maintain a mutually supportive relationship within the UCSB community in the pursuit of a more just society.
Officers of 50 MCC Affiliated Groups will gather at this Fall’s Mandatory Town Hall Meeting on October 15, 2009 at 4:00 to network and forge collaborations for the academic year.

For over two decades the MultiCultural Center (MCC) has been committed to presenting cutting-edge programs, fostering diversity of expression, and providing a public forum/ safe space in the struggle against exclusion and discrimination. We have strived to inspire and stimulate thousands of UCSB students, community members, and local organizations to build relationships across differences.
