Multicultural Student Center Leader

The UAA Multicultural Student Center is seeking a driven and compassionate individual to be a Student Leader. The C&B team is deeply committed to supporting the needs of the many UAA student communities. The Centers (IRSC, MSC, and the PC) are dedicated spaces with programs that foster connection with the community and holistic student development. Community & Belonging celebrates the cultural assets of students with minoritized or marginalized identities and works to transform societal norms to build a campus community where all students can thrive as their full, authentic selves.

The Multicultural Student Center Leaders serve as student representatives of the Multicultural Student Center and in peer support roles for the students we serve. The students serving as MSC Leaders have passion, commitment and knowledge in supporting and working with people across multiple intersecting dimensions of identity such as multicultural students, multiracial students, international students, students practicing minoritized religions, indigenous students, queer students, non-traditional students, students with disabilities, etc.

Overall, MSC Leaders engage in a variety of community-building efforts and programs supporting the Multicultural Student Center and the Student Engagement Department. Examples include our traditional events and programs (examples include Campus Kick-Off 2026, New Seawolves Belong, BIPOC Connect).

To thrive in this role a successful applicant should have commitment to personal and community development. They should have experience or an interest in identity development and strong interpersonal communication skills. Having demonstrated knowledge of underrepresented groups and/or marginalized groups would be helpful. They should have the ability to manage and keep confidential information. Additionally they should have a commitment to campus and community involvement.
