Multicultural
Programming
Our vision is to create
activities and programs that enhance knowledge, build community and
cultivates campus awareness and practice that emulates a culture of
diversity and social justice. Supporting both Highline Community
College’s mission statement and strategic initiatives, Multicultural
Programs brings celebration and learning opportunities for the entire
campus community. Multicultural Programs helps students reach their
academic and personal goals by programming events that promote
multicultural awareness and by providing students with leadership
opportunities to participate in ethnic clubs, multicultural conferences
and other diversity initiatives on campus.
