CWU Multicultural Center Providing holistic student support, identity-based & cultural programs, and social justice education.

The Multicultural Center (MCC) centers the needs of students with marginalized identities. We provide holistic student support, identity-based & cultural programs, and social justice workshops to cultivate a sense of belonging and community at Central Washington University (CWU) and beyond. VISION


MISSION
We do this through

- HOLISTIC STUDENT SUPPORT
- IDENTITY-BASED & CULTURAL PROGRAMS
- WORKSHOPS
- MCC & ESC
- SPACE

OUR VALUES:

- We commit to building justice and just relationships in our communities.

- We believe that justice is relational (rooted in our interactions and relationships with one another) and requires trust building, vulnerability, and loving accountability(link is external).

- We believe that justice requires speaking truth to power(link is external). This means courageously confronting those in power, calling out injustices, and demanding change.

- We believe that justice is rooted in liberatory education(link is external) that calls on us to examine, challenge, and reckon with entrenched power structures, internally and externally.

- We believe that justice requires us to re-imagine and rebuild (PDF) a world with radical community care (link is external)that prioritizes the healing and repair for oppressed groups.

- We believe that justice is imperfect, emergent(link is external), complex, and at times contradictory, and we cannot do it alone.

- We believe that justice cannot be sustained without celebration, joy, and gratitude for the everyday rhythms of our lives.

Recognized as a federal holiday since 2021, we hope you will join us to celebrate with us downtown this evening.
