 Multicultural
Education Center
Multicultural contributions are a valuable part of society. A
unique place on campus, the Multicultural Education Center (MEC)
has evolved into a multipurpose resource center that seeks to
bring people together to promote and celebrate diversity on campus
and in the greater Oshkosh area and extended communities. The
MEC sponsors enrichment programs and activities designed to increase
the level of understanding and appreciation for cultural diversity
throughout the community.
The MEC also serves as a resource and information center for
students, staff, faculty and community members interested in improving
cross-cultural human relations and understanding cultural differences.
The MEC also continues to serve as the "embassy" for all multicultural
and international students on campus. To many multicultural and
international students, the MEC provides a "home away from home"
atmosphere.
