The Office of Multicultural Affairs welcomes the Multicultural Women's Alliance, a new coalition of female student leaders committed to promoting a better understanding and appreciation of the cultural differences that exist among women, in order to further unite as women at Stony Brook. The Multicultural Women's Alliance exists to address the issues that segregate women so that its members can embrace the beauty of their cultural and social diversity. To learn more about this new group, you can attend their next program on Wednesday, April 16th, 8:00pm in Room 303 Student Activities Center.
