The Multicultural Center exists to enhance the University of Arkansas academic experience by preparing students for life in a diverse society. Seeking to provide an environment that promotes cross-cultural interaction among all students, the Center staff collaborates with the University community to provide educational, cultural, and social programs. Academic and extracurricular resources are available to assist in the development and advancement of an inclusive learning community.
The Center offers a large gallery area for programming, art displays and cultural exhibits, meeting space, a small resource library that includes books, videos, and board games, as well as an informal lounge where students can study or relax between classes. Students are encouraged to take advantage of these resources, as well as get involved with the various student organizations offered at the University of Arkansas. Located on the 4th floor of the Arkansas Union (ARKU 404), the Multicultural Center may be contacted at 479-575-2064 or online at http://multicultural.uark.edu/.
Orginally founded at the U of A in 1995, the Multicultural Center has been in its current location (Arkansas Union 404) since 2001. Click here for a brief history about the Center!
