“We are committed to developing and nurturing a culturally, ethnically, and internationally diverse academic community embracing the mandate of Christ for reconciliation to God and each other.”

The purpose of the Multicultural Enrichment Council is to champion a holistic, integrated, and intentional initiative to enrich a university-wide culture that welcomes all students, faculty, and staff of ethnic and cultural diversity and international origins. The council seeks to foster richly diverse curricular and co-curricular educational experiences and spiritual formation rooted in the Wesleyan tradition that fully engages students, faculty, and staff as we prepare all students for Christian service locally and globally.
