One year after its ribbon cutting, Michigan State University’s Multicultural Center, or MCC, has become one of the most active, dynamic and widely shared spaces on campus — alive with conversation, celebration, reflection and care.

Operated by the Office of Multicultural Enrichment and Advocacy, or OMEA, the center has hosted more than 1,700 programs, meetings and study reservations, drawing students, staff, faculty and community members. On any given day, the space shifts seamlessly from a quiet study hub to a rehearsal space, from a keynote venue to a resource fair, reflecting the center’s core purpose as an accessible place where all are welcome.

“Having a physical space on the Red Cedar River, a space where our ancestors lived and gathered for generations before MSU was even a thought, where we can gather today in ceremony to reflect on our connections to each other and to this land is incredibly powerful,” says Kristin Arola, director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies.
