This is accomplished by cultivating leaders who value civility, problem solving and heritage. The Multicultural Student Center also promotes a fulfilling and comprehensive college experience which encourages social responsibility, student learning, and personal well-being obtained through cultural opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. These include a series of support services, programs and activities that foster inclusion and pluralism.
A Place Made Dynamic by Differences
What makes us different makes us extraordinary! At Georgia Southern University, a montage of faces, voices, and experiences from a myriad of places create a cultural mosaic, each difference adding color and dimension to the campus. The Multicultural Student Center promotes the education and celebration of cultural diversity. The office seeks to retain and assist students on their journey of progression to graduation. This is done through a series of support services, programs, and activities that foster inclusion and pluralism.
The Goals of the Multicultural Student Center:
-
