Annual Programs
Our office sponsors several annual programs in support of our
mission. These include producing the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration, which is
long-standing tradition observed at Puget Sound before it was a
national holiday. We also participate in programming during
times like Women's History Month, Black History Month, and Asian
Pacific Heritage Month. Along with these programs, our office
has offered a seven week long Students of Color Leadership
Insititute and provides mentoring opportunities for exploring a
career in student affairs through the National Asscociation for
Student Personnel Administrators' Minority Undergraduate Fellows
Program.

Year-Round Programs
In support of the mission of enhancing intercultural awareness
and creating a leaning environment in which the entire campus feels
welcome and supported, Multicultural Student Services coordinates
the several programs and services throughout the year. These
include the efforts by the Sexuality Issues,
Relationships, and Gender Education (SIRGE) coordinator and
on-going trainings about creating Safe Zones for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender students and the campus community. In
addition, we have resources for LGBT prospective
and current students.
