This fall, the Multicultural Engagement Center (MEC) has launched a new workshop series for undergraduates who are interested in building their leadership skills around the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion.

The free workshops, offered throughout the fall semester, will be held in person at the William C. Powers (WCP) building, room 1.102. Students have the option to enroll in one or all four of the following workshops.

This new series was inspired by the MEC’s diversity workshops that are offered by request to student organizations, fraternities and sororities and various members of the Longhorn Community. The workshops selected for the series are among the most requested workshops that are high in demand throughout the academic year.

Workshops will be taught by MEC Assistant Director Krysta Chacon and MEC Student Program Coordinator Hollie Yang. Space is limited for safety precautions and masks are strongly encouraged. Visit the MEC website to sign up.
