About the Multicultural Center and International Student Affairs
The Multicultural Center and International Student Affairs (MCISA) is a department within Student Affairs that is committed to creating an academic environment that embraces social diversity, globalism, and cross-cultural interaction in the classrooms and within the campus community. The MCISA provides services and special programs that address the academic, social, and individual needs of all students, focusing primarily on cultural minorities and international students.
Our Mission is to Prepare Citizens of the World through Cultural Awareness. The MCISA encourages and fosters an environment where a student's personal growth and development will enhance the retention and academic success of all students. Perhaps, most important of all is the department's aim to create a community environment that embraces individual differences and emphasizes the unity of humankind. The MCISA continues to reach new heights in its desire to serve as the multicultural resource for the campus community.
