Virtual LGBTQ Center
The growing diversity of the student body, faculty, and staff at MCC has dictated a need for accessible information and resources for all members of our community. In addition to this online space, the College offers safe spaces and allies throughout the campuses. Students can feel at home in one of two Multicultural Centers and through the comradery of the Spectrum Club. Human Resources and the Dean of Students Office also provide support and advocacy related to inclusivity and campus policy.
The Virtual Center promises to grow in its offerings to provide various resources
for students, faculty, and staff regarding the LGBTQ+ community on campus, locally,
and nationally. The vision is to ensure a welcoming community for everyone while delivering
specific opportunities and connections for our LGBTQ+ population and allies.
Check out the MCC Library's Pride Story Wall and share your Ally or LGBTQ+ story.
