Welcome
to the website for the Multicultural Center's Strategic
Planning Initiative. At the Strategic Planning Retreat,
held February 21 and 22, 2003 in Kingston, RI, participants
reached agreement on revised Mission and Vision
Statements for the URI Multicultural Center.
Please view draft versions of Strategies
and Goals
formulated at the retreat and review the Strategic Initiatives listed
below.
We would like to express appreciation to everyone that contributed their
time, energy, and ideas at the retreat, and please keep checking back
to this site as information will be added on a weekly basis. MCC
Mission Statement
The URI Multicultural Center seeks to create and sustain a safe and
supportive environment where, through collaboration, dialogue, and action,
students, faculty, and staff build a learning community that generates,
transmits, and applies knowledge designed to advocate, promote, and
celebrate cultural understanding of self and others.
MCC Vision Statement
We envision a world in which all people are committed to sharing the
responsibility of extending social and cultural equity and freedom of
choice to all humankind; and a university in which students, faculty
and staff are committed to equipping themselves with the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes to transform the campus in which they learn and
the world in which they live into inclusive and culturally competent
learning communities.
