After receiving support from the administration, Michigan State University revealed that they will be building a new Multicultural Center on campus. Individuals working on this project are aiming to provide a space for students of various backgrounds to utilize for their events, as a meeting spot, a place to study and for self-reflection.
After substantial feedback from numerous student groups on campus asking for some sort of multicultural structure, the university began plans to implement a free-standing multicultural center in late 2019 after the university was presented with a 10-step plan to implement more initiatives to support diversity, equity and inclusion. While the recent push has been strong, some student groups have been asking for a building for several decades.
