MCN Fall Open House
For the past four years, the Multicultural Fall Welcome has been a highly successful event that seeks to welcome multicultural students to UWM. During this annual event, students learn more about support services offered by the Black Student Cultural Center, Roberto Hernandez Center, Southeast Asian Student Center, and the American Indian Student Services offices to help them succeed in school.
To host this event, MCN also partners with key organizations across campus that support diverse scholars, such as the Career Planning and Resource Center, UWM Athletics, Student Success Center, Office of Undergraduate Research and the Women’s Resource Center, among many others. During the Multicultural Fall Welcome, students fellowship with faculty and staff in the Bolton Hall breezeway while enjoying some refreshments celebrating UWM’s rich cultural climate.
MCN Winter Welcome
The Multicultural Winter Welcome has been a highly successful, mid-semester event designed to welcome newly admitted, returning, and transfer students from diverse backgrounds to UWM in a fun and engaging way. During this annual event, students learn more about support services offered by the Black Student Cultural Center, Roberto Hernandez Center, Southeast Asian Student Center, and the American Indian Student Services offices to help them succeed in school.
We also partner with key organizations on campus that support diverse scholars, such as the Center for Latin and Caribbean Studies, the LGBTQ+ Resource Center, UWM Libraries, the WiscAMP STEM-Inspire program, and the Student Health and Wellness Center, among others. At the Multicultural Winter Welcome, students gain key information from faculty and staff on campus while enjoying cookies and hot chocolate sponsored by local businesses and MCN member offices.
FAFSA Help
The Multicultural Network, in collaboration with Student Financial Services, sponsors a multi-day event to provide assistance to BIPOC students and their parents to complete the annual Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA. Students meet with trained professionals to answer questions and complete the FAFSA, which provides access to needed financial resources to attend college.
