Multicultural Center

The Multicultural Center (MCC) provides opportunities for students to learn about, honor, and embrace their histories, lives, and whole self. We achieve this by providing a physical space in the Wacheno Welcome Center on the Oregon City campus, supporting identity-based clubs, offering leadership opportunities in the MCC, and hosting social and educational events.

We hope that during your time at Clackamas Community College you are able to find community and achieve your educational goals. We are eager to learn how we can best support you within the Multicultural Center, whether that’s learning more about yourself, finding common ground through shared identities, or developing your leadership skills. We look forward to seeing you at either in the Center or at one of our events!
