Value Statement

The Multicultural Club provides an environment in which all students may learn about and share their views pertaining to culture and gender. Our goals include:
  • Gaining knowledge and wisdom
  • Supporting and helping individuals in their personal, pre-professional, spiritual and academic lives
  • Applying these lessons to everyday life and to our careers
  • Learning how God is involved within each of our cultures
  • Learning how we influence other cultures
  • To assist the students in their celebration, knowledge and understanding of cultural differences created by God

Importance

  • Diversity must be respected, so we are going to teach it.
  • Cultural knowledge is a part of the overall educational experience.
  • God created cultures; each is different and to be celebrated.
  • Students need this knowledge as they head into a more and more diverse world, not only for themselves, but also for their children, grandchildren, and for future generations.
