About the MRC
The Multicultural Resource Center (MRC) is designed to offer the Southern Oregon University community the opportunity to develop an awareness of their own personal cultural identity while celebrating the uniqueness of other cultures.
The center's vision is to educate, promote and provide services to build a supportive environment in which students can develop an understanding and appreciate for the multiculturalism in our school, community and beyond.
One of the original goals identified by the MRC was to create an environment in which individuals could learn to respect and appreciate cultural diversity. A primary focus of the MRC is to develop multicultural education through co-curricular programs and other educational activities to assure that the social and classroom environment of the campus is inclusive.
MRC services include consultation with faculty members to develop cultural components in curriculum, support to student organizations, and multicultural education seminars for SOU faculty, staff and students. In addition, the MRC sponsors several programs and has many resources available for the SOU community.
