Multicultural Living Learning Community

Do you want to live somewhere you can laugh with friends, listen to your music, and live your best life? Then this is the place for you. The Student Multicultural Center (SMC) is committed to providing resources that support our students of color in their sense of belonging and cultural affirmation. This living-learning community is an extension of the SMC as a resource for our students of color. Simply put, we want you to come as you are and be your true self, gain relationships that help you grow and learn, and engage with an open mind to contribute to your community. The Multicultural Living Learning Community is located in Tri Towers. This LLC supports the sense of belonging and cultural affirmation of our African American, Latinx/Hispanic, Native American/Indigenous, and Multiracial undergraduate students.
