Asian, Pacific Islander and Desi American

The Student Life Multicultural Center’s APIDA Initiatives support the vibrant and diverse Asian, Pacific Islander, Desi American, Asian international and Middle Eastern and North African student communities at Ohio State. We serve as a resource for students to build a greater sense of belonging and community on campus.

The MCC engages in social, cultural and educational programming to increase visibility of APIDA experiences and raise awareness about current social issues impacting our campus, local and national communities.
