Student Engagement Opportunities

The multicultural and diversity resource center (MDRC) offers many chances for you to learn about leadership and get involved in campus life at Mt. Hood Community College. Through our programs and events, you can get to know other students, teachers, and community members, and work together to make MHCC better for everyone.

Signature Programs

Social Justice Advocates: Students in this program learn about social issues, how to talk about diversity and inclusion, and how to start big projects that can make the campus a better place.

Student Council for Multicultural Affairs (SCMA): This is a group of students that want to help students who haven't always been treated fairly. They meet every two weeks to talk about what students need and how to make things better. Anyone can join if they care about these issues.

Transitions/Transiciones: These programs help women who have found it hard to start or go back to school plan for their careers and prepare for college. Students that have gone through either program can help other students as a mentor.  

Oregon Leadership Institute: This program focuses on leadership skills, public speaking, and emotional intelligence skills. OLI pairs college-level students with high school students interested in college and career ideas. MHCC students serve as a mentors in this program.
