Strategic Plan

MCC Strategic Goals

We will build community by cultivating an inclusive and positive university climate through

  • operating a safe and welcoming space on campus that serves as a center for dialogue, learning and community;
  • partnering with individuals, groups, academic affairs and other student life units to offer initiatives that connect people through community service, social engagement, cultural celebration and shared understanding;
  • working with the university to continuously track and address issues of discrimination and bias that affect university members; and
  • maintaining an interactive website that is a comprehensive, useful resource.

We will contribute to the academic experience by fostering students' ability to think critically through

  • collaborating with academic units to create dialogue, inspire reflection and arouse new viewpoints for intellectual growth within the Ohio State community; and
  • implementing co-curricular programs to explore and teach concepts around privilege, oppression and intra- and inter-group relations.

We will provide students with resources to promote social justice at Ohio State and around the world through

  • creating innovative tools to raise awareness about established and emerging social identities; and
  • facilitating collaborative campus-wide initiatives that promote intercultural exchange, civic involvement, equity and access.

We will facilitate students' individual transformation through

  • offering advocacy and outreach to address students' cultural, educational, emotional, physical and spiritual needs;
  • supporting and challenging students to explore their ethics and values on personal, social and professional levels; and
  • providing leadership development opportunities for students to build community, contribute to the academic experience and empower others to become change agents for social justice.
