MAKE A CHANGE HERE AT MHCC

The Multicultural & Diversity Resource Center hosted its first Student Voices Forum meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15, providing students a safe place to discuss with MHCC staff the improvements they wish to see on campus.

Present at the first of the planned monthly meetings – in Room AC1050, inside the Student Union – were Ernesto Vasquez, coordinator for the Center, who led students with questions and recorded the concerns raised, Linda Vigesaa, the college’s chief information officer, and Amber High from the MHCC communications/marketing office.

Among the concerns voiced were the lack of student club advertisements, and events that give students a chance to connect. The main issue is lack of communication between students and event planners at MHCC, participants said. 

The next forum is set for Tuesday, Nov. 19, starting at 11:30 a.m.

It is crucial for interested students to attend these meetings, so that their thoughts and concerns can be heard, and real change can occur. The forums will only be successful if more students attend, organizers said.

Often, students complain of changes they wish to see on campus, and this is the perfect opportunity to do something about it.
