The Multicultural Peer Advocates (MPAs) are an integral part of the Multicultural Center and are responsible for participating in the planning, coordinating, and implementation of the Center programs. They also provide peer advising, tutoring, general office assistance, diversity presentations, assistance in recruitment of minority students, participate in freshmen orientation, comet camp and scholars weekend. The MPAs are personal and academic role models and the success of the MPA program can be attributed in a large part to the dedication, creativity, and leadership the MPAs have provided over the lifespan of the Multicultural Center.
The Multicultural Peer Advocate program began in 1987. The Program was implemented with seven enthusiastic minority students who wanted to "make a difference" on campus. The MPAs were originally called paraprofessionals. The program began in the Office of Intercultural Services, which later became Multicultural Services and is now the Multicultural Center. The MPA program is a cooperative effort among students and staff to create a link between the university, the community and the cultural student population.
