Welcome to the MLC

MLC residents have a thirst to understand the problems and issues, as well as, the benefits and contributions of human diversity. Learning is a lifelong experience, so MLC residents seek this understanding to constructively shape their actions and behavior in order to be successful and caring students and citizens.

WHO LIVES HERE

MLC residents represent various life experiences and cultures. Antonio Garcia puts it best, “the MLC can be seen like an orchestra in a way, all types of cultures forming the unique entity, a distinctive performance that is the MLC”.

Various areas of study are also represented in the MLC; education to engineering, art to business, political to veterinary sciences. No matter the academic interest, MLC residents seek to enhance their WI experience through the exploration of the relationship between self, others the societal institutions that shape the human experience. This relationship building is the foundation for believing in and working for change where disempowerment, violence, discrimination and prejudice exists. So our goal is to provide a safe space where students can begin to explore how their experience will assist progress/change.
