The Mosaic Center invites you to join us for a Move-In BBQ to welcome you and all new incoming students to campus! The Mosaic Center is a culturally relevant, accessible and inclusive space (located within the Werner University Center) that is reflective of the diverse identities and values of our student body. The center houses the Black Student Union (BSU), Filipino American Association at WOU (FAAWOU), Hawaiian Club, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA), Multicultural Student Union (MSU), Native Indigenous Culture Club (NICC), and Unidos Migrant Student Association (UNIDOS). The Mission of the Mosaic Center is to provide a work and gathering space for multicultural/cultural identity based student organizations to collaborate, promote advocacy, coordinate programming and steward resources.
Cultural Connections is a program sponsored by the PACE (Peer Allies for College Engagement) Program within the Multicultural Student Services & Programs Office, that is designed to provide an orientation opportunity to culturally diverse students. You will have a chance to meet MSSP staff members, the PACE Coordinators and the PACE Mentors that are current students who are excited to work with you and share information about programs and leadership opportunities on campus. Our goal is to support you as you make your transition to Western Oregon University. There is one Cultural Connections Session each week day of Pack Welcome Week and there will be a drawing for prizes at each session! For those of you that attend all of the Cultural Connection sessions, you will be in the drawing for the grand prize at the final session of the week! (Grand Prize: TBD)
