Who We Are
An important part of your business education is exposure to other cultures and perspectives. That's why we celebrate our differences and encourage curiosity. The Multicultural Center (MCC) is the campus hub for diversity and inclusion activities.
The Multicultural Center provides an inclusive environment for students to leverage programming designed to foster an informed, empowered, and compassionate community.
Student Programming
Peer2Peer
A program that pairs experienced mentors to navigate academics and social aspects efficiently. Matches are based on shared interests and academic programs, with mentoring typically extending through the sophomore year. Former mentees can become mentors for new students. For more information or to apply as a mentor or mentee, contact the Multicultural Center staff via email.
MOSAIC Experience
A pre-orientation program open to first-year students of color and allies. Starting three days before First-Year Orientation, it provides an early campus move-in opportunity and offers tools for academic success and building connections. For more information contact the Multicultural Center staff via email.
Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Bentley's largest annual diversity event, the Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast/luncheon, has been organized and hosted by student leaders since 1986. It features MLK statements, presentations, and keynote addresses by prominent national speakers. Community members are also honored for their leadership and dedication to diversity initiatives.
Coming Full Circle
A network for women of color among Bentley's faculty, staff, and students. We provide opportunities for fellowship, dialogue, and social-professional networking. Participants also enhance their presentation and leadership skills for use in various settings. Contact Claudette Blot for further details via email.
Mankind Movement
A bi-weekly gathering for men of color among Bentley's faculty, staff, and students. Join us to discuss topics like relationship building, career development, time management, and more. For additional details, please reach out to Devon "DJ" Lee via email.
Blue Table Podcast
The Blue table is a podcast that is run by students. The podcast addresses the needs of the campus by highlighting difficult topics and social issues. It is also a platform for students to voice their concerns and highlight their accomplishments. For more information contact the Multicultural Center staff via email.
