Dear Students, due to the COVID-19 health crisis the Multicultural Services (MCS) office has moved online. Please make an appointment or visit our virtual front desk below.
It is an honor for me to serve as the Director of our Multicultural Services Department. Our primary goal is to support you in your education at BC. We have a fantastic team of dedicated staff, and work-study students here to serve you, to support you, and to help you navigate our college. I invite you to visit Multicultural Services, learn about our support services, and to join our learning community.
Have questions about our department and services (academic coaching, financial aid counseling, tutoring, equipment lending, mentoring program, post prison program, events and workshops)? Our front desk staff is here to help you over chat, audio and video.
Monday-Thursdays 8 a.m-5 p.m.
Fridays: closed April 30-Dec. 31
