Signature events

Each of our identity-based programs hosts a signature event each year highlighting a particular community. Additionally, The Multicultural Center collectively hosts our Affinity Graduate Celebrations. All of these events not only celebrate specific cultural identities but, more importantly, they instill a sense of belonging by bringing communities together.
