Multicultural/Diversity Center

 

Multicultural/Diversity Center

The Multicultural/Diversity Center (MCDC) is a student support service established to provide services to students with various cultural and /or ethnic backgrounds and to increase cultural diversity at Dixie State College. The MCDC operates under the principle that every person's unique life experience enriches campus life and adds a profound element to a true education.  We invite ALL DSC students to participate in the Multicultural/Diversity Center events, to promote diversity and to celebrate their own cultural identities as well as those of others.  Again, the Multicultural/Diversity Center is open to all students, while we particularly focus on supporting DSC multicultural students.  Please take your time to explore our website and feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns or suggestions.  We also invite you to stop by the Multicultural/Diversity Center that is located in the basement of the Gymnasium to further see how we can be of benefit to you.
