About The Sylvania Multicultural Center

Our mission is to support the recruitment, retention, and holistic (academic, leadership, professional) success of students most negatively affected by institutionalized racism and education inequity.

The Multicultural Center (MC) is centrally located in the CC Building, Room 202. We provide a space that promotes learning, knowledge, teamwork, and the achievement of personal and educational goals.

The MC values academic achievement, community-building, and social justice which is demonstrated through our leadership programs, peer tutoring service, mentoring opportunities, student activities, campus events, and community partnerships.

In collaboration with the PCC community the Sylvania Multicultural Center works to create a welcoming, affirming, and inclusive campus environment for our diverse student population by:

  • Building and strengthening student leaders
  • Organizing events and activities that further our mission
  • Increasing awareness on issues like race, ethnicity, culture, power, oppression, and social justice
  • Collaborating with campus and community partners to promote education equity
  • Promoting diversity among students, staff, and faculty
