Our Mission
The Social Justice and Equity Centers have an overarching mission that is shared across the MultiCultural Center, Women’s Resource Center, and Pride Center and is supported by each of the centers individual missions.
The mission of the MultiCultural Center to serve and empower the diverse needs of our BIPOC and historically underrepresented students and explore the roles of allies. We aim to build solidarity amongst those with privileged identities by elevating cultural awareness and inclusion at BMCC. By providing safe and celebratory spaces on campus, students will learn to affirm and explore their ethnic and intersectional identities, address anti-racist practices, and foster a sense of belonging to encourage student success.
