Multicultural Student Services

Multicultural Student Services empowers and educates all students to intentionally develop mutually trusting and culturally agile relationships. We believe that learning to effectively navigate differences and new environments is an essential part of a liberal arts education. Our Inclusion Visioning Statement calls us to integrate this priority into all aspects of the life of the institutions. Our services are available to all Bennies and Johnnies, including graduate students. Looking to connect? Feel free to reach out to Multicultural Student Services by email at [email protected] or call (320)-363-5094. The Multicultural Center is located in Murray Hall on the CSB Campus.
