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.

Distinguished Alumni and Community Awards

The awards will be presented at the Bridging the Gap Breakfast on Homecoming Saturday, October 26, 2013.
