The Center for Multicultural Engagement and Inclusion aims to provide a student-centered, accessible, intersectional, anti-racist and equitable experience for students that prioritizes community engagement, service and cultural appreciation. To fulfill this mission, the CMEI engages in leadership and community development as well as scholarly research, programming, experiential activities and student activities and learning.
The CMEI, one of five departments within the Center for Equity and Student Achievement, supports students’ sense of belonging and affirms their identities by building community through:
- Events, conferences and activities
- Fraternity and sorority life (currently 10 chapters)
- First-Generation Initiatives
- Leadership programs
- Met Media
- Racial-equity programs
- Student organizations (currently 60 registered organizations)
- Student travel and professional-development funding
- The Student Advocacy Council (TSAC)
“This wide variety of co-curricular programs and engagement opportunities enriches students’ learning experiences as they navigate their personal and professional journeys while integrating into the University,” said Thanh Nguyen, Ed.D., assistant dean and director of the CMEI. “We hope as campus partners you can help connect students to the CMEI and collaborate with us to support student engagement on campus.”
