Multiracial & Transracial Adoptee Student Involvement

This area was created to meet the growing concerns and demands of populations that MICA has not historically served.

The Coordinator for Multicultural Student Involvement will support this student population through the promotion of specific involvement, leadership, recognition and learning opportunities. We are committed to the creation and maintenance of a campus environment where multiracial, biracial and multiethnic, and transracial adoptee identities and issues are affirmed and supported.
