The mission of the Multicultural Conference (MC2) is to facilitate the interaction of identity-based groups on MIT's campus, to open cross-cultural communication, and to critically reflect on community norms and practices.
MC2 will focus on bringing students together across race, ethnicity, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, and other aspects of cultural identity. By bringing these groups together, we will facilitate an honest, open, and interactive dialogue about the cultural climate at MIT, learn from each group's experiences, and develop plans to cultivate a campus environment that promotes equality, not simply tolerance. As MIT's mission statement clearly promotes a diverse campus community, it is crucial for our groups to discuss the role of diversity in education and campus life.
