Heritage Events
The Multicultural Resource Center hosts awareness weeks and months in honor of cultural history and traditions across all identity groups. Programs during these times are educational and celebratory opportunities for all members of the community to come together in shared understandings, in support of UAlbany’s truly diverse campus.

UAlbany Queer and Trans People of Color Affinity Group seeks to support students who identify as queer/trans/genderqueer people of color. The QTPOC dinner is a collaboration between the Pride Alliance, GSRC and WRC and seeks to provide a safe space for queer people of color to build community, to celebrate all facets of our identities, and to engage in meaningful discussion.
Family Movie Nights |
We know student life can often be a bit hectic, and with more to do then can be accomplished in a day, quality family time doesn’t have to suffer. Form your family with the MRC by joining us for a movie and discussion. Movies will be selected by monthly theme or current events.
