Who We Are

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.
