and events to uphold their mission as well as weekly meetings.

The KMEC Mission
"As members of the Kresge community and the Multicultural Education Committee
we declare that we shall not tolerate nor ignore the socially accepted inequalities
and stereotypes of the society at large. We believe that we
must actively work for change, "not because we are frightened by conflict,
but because we are fired by conscience". As a community comprised of diverse
individuals we believe that we are all accountable for our own actions and
our personal environments. Therefore, must take responsibility for the environment
in which we choose to surround ourselves. It is our belief that every individual
has the right to reach his or her fullest potential. Consequently, not by
fate but by choice, we take daily responsibility to move toward securing
an environment that will harvest this potential and thus riding the community
of helplessness and alienation."
Where we're meeting this year:
KMEC will be meeting at the Kresge Student Lounge every Wednesday night at 7 to 9pm. |
