Enriching the Educational Experience
At U of M Crookston, we believe Multicultural Education is an essential part of student success, as it enriches the educational experience by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. It prepares students to be well-rounded, culturally competent individuals who can be engaged, productive members of society, and contribute positively to a diverse and global society. By providing Multicultural Education through training, programming, and off-campus collaboration, our campus works to create an environment of mutual redpect and understanding of others, and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging.
