Events & Activities

Multicultural Programs hosts and assists several events and activities on campus that support student success and ethnic diversity. These events include guest speakers, History Month celebrations, and scholarship and internship informational sessions.

Resource Center

The Multicultural Programs’ resource center, located in the Student Affairs Office (Fidel 262), provides students not only with a space for meetings and study sessions, but also with information concerning scholarships and internships.

Research Funding

Multicultural Programs offers an undergraduate research assistantship through the National Science Foundation. This program, the Alliance for Minority Participation (AMP), is open to ethnic minority students with a GPA of 2.5 or higher.
