The Multicultural Center supports and advances the University's and Department of Social Work's commitment to cultural diversity.  The Center's purpose is two-fold. The Multicultural Center exists to help support minority students on campus and to assist in educating the campus community on issues regarding race and diversity.   There are several programs that the Multicultural Center sponsors that are supportive of the BSW Program's objective of graduating students who appreciate diversity and are culturally competent.

• Perspectives - Brown Bag Discussions on racial or current events issues.  These are held month on Fridays from noon to 1:00.
• One World Speaker Presentations consists of a number of events held throughout the year that bring in more widely known individuals who can speak to issues of diversity and who promote racial reconciliation.
• The Multicultural Heritage Film series features various films throughout the year regarding historical and social perspectives regarding various cultures.
• Words of Wisdom Book Club features a major book tackling the issue of diversity, race, gender, and multiculturalism. The first 15 students receive a copy of the book free and the group of students will meet throughout the semester to discuss readings, excerpts, and chapters in depth.
