Community Lunches
Held monthly, these lunches are designed to connect students with other USD students, faculty and staff. In addition, they provide valuable information about the UFMC's programs, as well as other university and community resources.
Hate Crimes Awareness Week
Held at the beginning of fall semester, this week-long program raises awareness of the impact of hate crimes and bias motivated incidents in our community. During this time, we present speakers, films, discussions, exhibits, information tables, and much more.
NCORE
The Annual National Conference On Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education (NCORE) focuses on the complex task of creating and sustaining comprehensive institutional change designed to improve racial and ethnic relations on campus and to expand opportunities for educational access and success by culturally diverse, traditionally underrepresented populations. Each year, the UFMC sponsors a group of students to attend the conference. This year's conference is being held in New York City May 29 - June 2. Click on the link for more information:

Outreach
The UFMC works with university departments, students, community organizations and local schools to connect youth to the University of San Diego and build relationships. Our efforts seek to enhance the recruitment of underrepresented groups and create a more diverse and inclusive community.
Multicultural Night
This annual event brings different traditions, cultures, and talents that make up the USD community. Everyone is invited to enjoy delicious cultural cuisine and enjoy talented performances from various multicultural student organizations. Previous performances include singing and spoken word as well as traditional and contemporary dances from the Philippines, Mexico, Hawai'i, Spain, and India. "It is through the arts, the sharing of our traditions without any stigmas or stereotypes, that the beauty of unique heritages and cultural distinctness can be most easily transmitted and appreciated."
Safe Space Allies
The Safe Space Allies Network enhances the ability of students, staff, administrators and faculty to demonstrate proactively and personally the University's core values of community, inclusion, and respect for all - regardless of sexual orientation or other identity. Grounded in Catholic Social Thought, the University's mission affirms that all human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society.
