Multi-Cultural Alumni We want you back! Behrend is a special place and it remains special because of alumni like you. The vibrant students that come to Behrend make it what it is today. This summer we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of the college and to add to the celebration we are planning a special, warm welcome to our multi-cultural alumni. As alumni from various parts of the country and the world you have been the wondrous thread that runs through the Penn State fabric.
Remember when the Association of Black Collegians (ABC) was established? ABC set foundation that is now a ten multi-ethnic student organization group called the Multi-Cultural Council (MCC). Housed in the Multi-cultural Resource Center, some of you recent graduates certainly know the strong impact that MCC organizations have had on campus. We look forward to having the opportunity for you to meet some of its current leaders and see how their vision and perspectives compare those you had when you were here. We also thought it would be interesting and valuable for us to share with you some of the initiatives the college has been taking to promote diversity at all levels, including the recruitment and retention of students and faculty from diverse populations as well as efforts to promote cultural awareness on campus. We have scheduled a panel with various staff members who will discuss these important topics. Hosted by Biddy Brooks, Director of the Center for Adult Students, panelists include:
