Hey remember that time Jenna accidentally deleted the blog and had to re-do it?

Welcome to the Office of Multicultural Involvement and Community Advocacy blog redux! Hopefully Jenna will be able to create a close facsimile of the one that she deleted, not out of malicious intent but rather overconfident stupidity. Welcome to college, Jenna!

Meet the MICA student workers:

If you don't know what the MICA office is all about, here's an idea:

MICA Office Mission

We in the Office of Multicultural Involvement and Community Advocacy [MICA], a unit within the Adele H. Stamp Student Union and the Division of Student Affairs, stand firmly in our role to empower students through education on issues of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, religion and their intersections. In support of our campus’ commitment to diversity, multiculturalism, and social justice, we advance a purposeful campus climate that capitalizes on the educational benefits of diversity, through student-centered advising, advocacy, programs, research, and practices. Our collective work results in positive student outcomes observable in their learning, identity development, involvement, and leadership.

MICA Office Philosophy

We support all students at the University of Maryland. Our work is important and provides opportunities and spaces that affirm students and their identities, build inclusive communities among diverse members, and create social change locally, nationally and globally.

We encourage students to participate in both culturally specific and cross-cultural involvement and leadership experiences.

We do not do this work alone and through our values of collaboration, personal commitment, authenticity, and inclusion, we serve our campus in its goals to achieve equity and social justice.

Cool!
