The SEU Multicultural Affairs (MCA) Department, led by Director Dr. Bridget Lee, coordinates and hosts a variety of educational programs to foster cultural competency throughout the year. During the month of February, the MCA team — as well as many groups across campus — will host events to give students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to learn more about and celebrate the heritage of Black Americans.
