Multicultural Leadership Awards

The Multicultural Student Center (MSC) began the Multicultural Leadership Awards and Graduation Reception in the Spring of 2000. The Multicultural Leadership Awards program was developed to recognize contributions made by student leaders, Multicultural Organizations, and staff all across campus. In addition to student leaders and Multicultural Organizations, the MSC staff recognizes the accomplishments of our graduating students of color.
