Multiracial and Mixed‑Race students are a growing, yet under‑recognized, population at U.S. colleges and universities. How well does your campus serve Multiracial students’ needs and Multiracial student organizations? And how can you support improvements?
In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore challenges facing Multiracial students and Multiracial student organizations—as well as possible solutions to those challenges. Participants will also learn basic Multiracial terms, demography, and identity theories, as well as gain resources for learning more in the future. Participants will have the opportunity to develop personal and collaborative action plans to implement what they’ve learned. This session should particularly benefit participants interested in the success of Multiracial students and student organizations, students interested in organizing Multiracial groups, and Student Affairs professionals who are interested in policy changes to support Multiracial students.
