Diversity Workshops

The Multicultural Center staff conducts workshops and various campus-based programs relating to diversity for the USI community. The purpose for these workshops is to strengthen and enhance awareness of diversity within the University community as it relates to race, gender, religion, nationality, age, sexual orientation, disabilities and more. Through diversity workshops, participants explore ways they can make the University a place where diversity is welcomed and appreciated.

If you are interested in reserving a workshop, contact Pamela Hopson at 812-465-7188.

Newsletters

The Multicultural Center has a series of newsletters to connect with various groups of people. 

• The Multicultural Connection is a monthly electronic newsletter published by the Multicultural Center to update underrepresented students at the University on cultural activities and programs sponsored within the University. 
• The MCC Family and Parent Newsletter is mailed out three times a year (July, October, March) to parents with first-year students. The focus of the newsletter is to keep parents informed and engaged with the Multicultural Center and the University. 
• The MCC Update Newsletter is a one-page electronic newsletter for all students that provides them with an update of any changes that have occurred in the Multicultural Center. This newsletter is e-mailed to students twice a year, the week before school starts each semester. 

These newsletters assist underrepresented students in various ways. By receiving one or all three of these newsletters, students are able to stay informed and better equipped during each academic semester. To receive an electronic or hard copy of one or all three of the newsletters, please contact Deonte Turnley via email or phone at 812-228-7032.
