Multicultural Alumni Partnership

The Multicultural Alumni Partnership was formed in the spring of 1995 to promote diversity within the Alumni Association and the University community, as well as to encourage students, faculty and alumni from diverse or disadvantaged backgrounds in their studies and careers. The club sponsors the annual Bridging the Gap Breakfast to honor alumni who have made a positive impact on their communities.

2008 Bridging the Gap Breakfast
Homecoming Saturday and the Breakfast this year will be on October 18th. Online and phone registration opens on August 1st.
