About Us
The Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA) and the William Monroe Trotter Multicultural Center (TMC) is one Division of Student Affairs (DSA) unit with two locations and a multiplicity of offerings.
With the mission “To promote student development and empower the campus community around issues of diversity and social justice through the lens of race and ethnicity” we provide support to all students through programming and strive to meet the facility/multicultural center needs of students.
We encourage and support engagement with other communities and given the multiple and complex identities oftoday’sstudents,we address them with an intercultural and leadership focused approach. Our work isgrounded in theory and emphasizes community, multicultural and intercultural development and promotes cross collaboration, develops intercultural skills, empowers students to address social justice issues.We are MESA/Trotter and we encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities and facilities we have to offer in order to support and enhance your experience as a student at the University of Michigan.
