Multicultural Services and Programs

Student Life

Welcome to MSP!

At Indiana State University’s Office of Multicultural Services and Programs (MSP), we build an inclusive community for you and for all students.

We work with campus and community partners to offer a variety of resources, services, festivals, cultural celebrations, educational workshops, conferences, trainings, and alternative break trips. We continually expand our offerings with programs and activities that help you feel supported, comfortable, and at home in our Sycamore campus community!

You will meet friends and allies who understand your experiences and share your concerns. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate cultural heritage, promote multicultural awareness, and continue to build a diverse campus community that supports your journey as a Sycamore!

Resource Centers

To help us provide inclusive care to our students, MSP is home to five resource centers:

International Student Resource Center

All are welcome to use these spaces to study, hang out with friends, host student organization meetings, participate in programs, and more!

Land Acknowledgement Statement

This land on which we inhabit is physically situated in the original ancestral homelands of the Wea Peoples of the Miami Tribe of Indiana. The Wea were a Miami-Illinois-speaking Native American tribe originally located in western Indiana and part of the larger Illinois Confederation. We pay respect to the Miami Tribe (Delaware, Kickapoo, Miami, Mound Builders, Piankashaw, Potawatomi, Shawnee, and Wea), past, present, and future, and the Wea Peoples continuing presence in the homeland and throughout their historical diaspora. This calls us to commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit as well. Without them, we would not have access to this learning environment. We take this opportunity to thank and honor the original caretakers of this land.
