While the New Ohio Union project is underway, the Multicultural Center has temporarily relocated to 128 Lincoln Tower.

The Multicultural Center is your connection to intercultural diversity at The Ohio State University. The MCC exists to facilitate the inclusive shared learning experiences of students where all can engage in dialogue, challenge barriers, and build collaborative relationships to create a community environment that recognizes cultural differences, respects cultural uniqueness, and facilitates intercultural interaction, learning and appreciation.

Examples of MCC programming include community celebrations of cultural traditions and heritage, cultural history and awareness events, lectures, movies and art events, student diversity leadership and social justice cohorts, community-building dialogues and trainings, collaborative grants and BART -- the Bias and Assessment Response Team, which monitors incidents of bias on campus.

The MCC intercultural model is one that welcomes all community members* to all events while at the same time supporting and celebrating specific constituency groups (including African American, Asian American, American Indian/Indigenous, Hispanic/Latin@, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Women, Men and Faith communities).

MCC also houses the OSU chapter of NCBI -- National Coalition Building Institute, International -- which offers prejudice-reduction, conflict-resolution and diversity leadership workshops for students, staff and faculty.

Please see our website and our on-line events calendar for more information.

*The Ohio State University community consists of students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni and other members of the broader community. MCC events intentionally include Allies -- members of any and all constituency groups are invited to attend events that celebrate constituency groups that may not be familiar to them, as a way to learn about and show support for all cultures represented at OSU.
