Advancing IDEA
A network of allies that provide a “safe place” for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. The SAFE logo in a classroom or office signifies that the faculty and staff within have completed training and are committed to challenging homophobic and heterosexist language and actions in a respectful and informative manner.
Macomb Multicultural International Initiatives (MMII)
MMII promotes multicultural understanding and acceptance through several free events for students and staff throughout the year. It also encourages students to explore different cultures by providing a study abroad stipend to help offset the cost of international travel.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a national observance and the most encompassing service-learning project at the college. On the second Monday of each January, hundreds of staff and students volunteer in the community in tribute to the selfless legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
