Among the seven student organizations on campus, there is an organization that, “stands for all of the heard and unheard voices on campus,” said Multicultural Student Union (MSU) President, Blessed Adeoye.
MSU is an organization for students to express their different cultures and true selves and work to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, said Adeoye. Also, MSU discusses, analyzes and advocates for people through meetings and events which are open to the entire student body.
“We also hold our meetings and events in order to encourage students to blend their cultures and highlight intersectionality and belonging,” said Adeoye.
MSU’s events include educational and social events showcasing different cultures present on campus. Also, when putting on events, MSU may partner with other affinity groups such as Barbershop, Women of Color Club (WOCC), Rhythm N’ Roots, the Hispanic and Latinx Student Association (HALSA), and Asian American Alliance (AAA or A^3).
Examples of previous events put on by MSU include the Soca Pool Party (in collaboration with affinity groups), Viva La Trivia, Rep Your Flag, Stay Woke Week, among many others.
Adeoye said one of his favorite events was “Rolling out with MSU” during the 2023-2024 school year where MSU turned the Field House into a disco themed roller skating rink where students could roller skate!
