The Student Multicultural Affairs (SMCA) at UMass Boston is dedicated to creating an academic and social environment enriched by diverse perspectives and identities. SMCA is a dynamic hub that disseminates cultural knowledge and fosters a deep appreciation for the myriad of viewpoints that comprise our global community. Through our initiatives, we aim to ensure every voice is heard and valued.

Mission:

Our mission is to empower students from diverse backgrounds to realize their full potential at UMass Boston. We achieve this by encouraging participation in a range of campus activities that complement academic pursuits and promote social growth. We are committed to developing leadership skills, advocating for inclusivity, and preparing students to be proactive members of society.

Vision: 

We envision a university community where diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated. A place where students develop a critical consciousness, build a sense of belonging, and are equipped with the skills to engage effectively both on campus and in the wider community. Our vision extends beyond just community building; we aim for active collaboration across different cultural spectrums, ensuring a cohesive and inclusive atmosphere for all.
