Students, Faculty Rally for Change at CSUS Multi-Cultural Center

Students first introduced themselves at a press conference. Later they submitted over a dozen completed job applications for a new clerical position in the Center.

C-COLORS wants more employment diversity in the Center. THere are many students who have the drive and qualifications to work with various ethnic groups on teh CSUS campus.

C-COLORS' goals include effectively boosting teh retention rates of CSUS students. The group suggested mentoring and tutoring outreach as two methods for the Center to use to improve student retention.

Also, C-COLORS wants the Center to bring in more cultural organization on campus and to actively affirm diversity. This is only the first step for C-COLORS.
