Serving the U of A Community

Multicultural Center

 

The Multicultural Center is a student-centered intersectional space that affirms difference and explores shared humanity through cultural celebrations, visual and performing arts events, educational forums, and partnerships that build and nurture community.

We host college readiness workshops and academic enrichment programs intended to promote belonging and foster achievement among our vibrant student body.

We are a campus community focused on welcoming all students while valuing, engaging, and empowering them in the direction of their dreams.

¡Qué noche! The Multicultural Center kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with Jaripeo y Baile—a tradition that brings together the thrill of jaripeo (a Mexican rodeo-style event rooted in horseback riding and bull riding) and the joy of baile (dance). It was an evening filled with music, movement, and community as we celebrated heritage, resilience, and culture. Thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring the vibrant traditions that continue to unite and inspire!
