Our Mission
We in the Office of Multicultural Involvement & Community Advocacy [MICA], a unit within the Adele H. Stamp Student Union and the Division of Student Affairs, stand firmly in our role to empower students through education on issues of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion and their intersections. In support of our campus' commitment to diversity, multiculturalism, and social justice, we advance a purposeful campus climate that capitalizes on the educational benefits of diversity, through student-centered advising, advocacy, programs, research, and practices. Our collective work results in positive student outcomes observable in their learning, identity development, involvement, and leadership.
Philosophy
We support ALL STUDENTS at the University of Maryland through our work which focuses on:
- providing opportunities and spaces for all students that affirm identities
- building inclusive communities among diverse members
- creating social change - locally, nationally and globally.
We encourage students to participate in both culturally specific and cross-cultural involvement and leadership experiences. We do not do this work alone - through our values of collaboration, personal commitment, authenticity, and inclusion, we serve our campus in its goals to achieve equity and social justice.
