The students serving as MSC Leaders have passion, commitment and knowledge in supporting and working with people across multiple intersecting dimensions of identity such as multicultural students, multiracial students, international students, students practicing minoritized religions, indigenous students, queer students, non-traditional students, students with disabilities, etc.

Overall, MSC Leaders engage in a variety of community-building efforts and programs supporting the Multicultural Student Center and the Student Engagement Department. Examples include our traditional events and programs (examples include Campus Kick-Off 2026, New Seawolves Belong, BIPOC Connect).
