I want to thank those of you who attended the President’s Diversity Council meeting on September 22nd where the topic was the Multicultural Resource Center (MRC) expansion project. And another shout out to the student leaders who participated in the smaller discussions with the MRC expansion design and consultant teams on the 28th and 29th. This is a HUGE undertaking and YOU are front and center! There is a timeline for the first phase of the project and the team will make more visits to campus to engage with our students and staff.
The next opportunity for you to meet and talk with the design and consultant teams is TOMORROW Tuesday, October 13th. There will be sessions from 11am – 7 pm that day. This gathering is open to the ENTIRE student body. The MRC and Office of Student Engagement (OSE) are involved in the first phase of the expansion. I encourage all students to participate in the workshops, learn more about the project, share your current experience with these spaces, and provide input on how these spaces are used in the future. Please complete this survey today PollEv.com/dwas997 . You may answer anonymously if you so choose. No pressure 🙂.
To get prepared, please visit the website and view the informational video from the September 22nd meeting, the PowerPoint presentation on the project details, and student survey results https://multicultural.missouristate.edu/mrc-expansion.htm . Send any questions you have to diversitycenterdiscussion@missouristate.edu .
