What's going on at the MSC?
Threads: Connecting You to the MSC
Threads is the UW-Madison Multicultural Student Center (MSC) blog. In September, the MSC launched Tapestry, our monthly newsletter geared at students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members. As an online extension of Tapestry, Threads is like our newsletter’s sassier, quirkier and more loquacious sibling. With a focus on multiculturalism, social justice, leadership and diversity, we will: cover news and events; feature photos, art and essays; provide tips on careers, technology, health and more; spotlight cultural celebrations and media trends; explore and discuss issues on campus and in the community.

Drop in and make the yummiest nachos ever from an array of toppings: salsa, jalapenos, sour cream, ground beef, nacho cheese and refried beans.
