Multicultural Opportunities for Students Actively Involved in Community
The
Multicultural Opportunities for Students Actively Involved in Community
(M.O.S.A.I.C.) organization, was created out of the Office of Students in Transition and Minority Support (now under the Office of Multicultural & International Student Services) to bridge gaps within the university community. We have created this learning community to bring together people from various backgrounds to increase their own knowledge and the knowledge of others. MOSAIC also serves as a collaboration of PLNU’s multicultural student clubs & other organizations: ALAS, ASU, BSU, Hui O' Hawai'i, International Club, Mu Kappa, Voices in Praise Gospel Choir and Team Barnabas. It supports these clubs & organizations in their individual identity, while also bringing them together for group functions and is committed to making the PLNU campus more inclusive of ethnic diversity.
We are open to ALL people!
