Mission
The mission of the Men's Multicultural Collective (MMC) is to support VCU students identifying as Men of Color (Black/African American, Asian/Asian American, Indigenous, Pacific Islander, Latino, or Multiracial) and provide tools and resources to enhance their overall experience as a VCU student. MMC is housed under the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) at VCU. The great thing about MMC is that there is no joining or application process, if you are a male of color at VCU, you are already in the group! ALL VCU students who are Men of Color or friends, allies, and supporters of Men of Color are welcome to join the group and all programs and activities.

Membership Benefits
- Weekly book read groups
- Involvement in program centered on the Men of Color experience
- Build community with other Men of Color on campus

Mission
Emerging from a desire to increase collaboration, cooperation and communication among the existing Multicultural student organizations, a diverse group of students came together to form the Multicultural Leadership Council (MLC). Advised by the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. The MLC was established to advocate and address issues facing the multicultural community at Virginia Commonwealth University and greater Richmond.

Membership Benefits
The Multicultural Leadership Council (MLC) aims to create an environment for students of diverse backgrounds to thrive at the Virginia Commonwealth University. All MLC activities share the common goal of ensuring that diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral parts of the student experience at VCU. The MLC is inclusive of racial/ethnic minority, women and gender minorities, international, LGBTQ-identified, disabled, first-generation graduate, or otherwise underrepresented students.
