MSA strives to coordinate services and programs that challenge, motivate, and support ethnically diverse students in their development at the University of Miami. We also seek to bring issues of diversity and multiculturalism to the foreground of campus conversation by sponsoring programs that celebrate cultural differences and highlight similarities that connect us to each other. We hope to engage in dialogue regarding issues of personal and collective notions of race, ethnicity, and culture; while providing a safe and supportive environment for students to freely share their thoughts.
