MANA Program
The MANA Program is dedicated to building cultural and educational experiences for Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi students, as well as for students interested in learning about these cultures. MANA helps students build a strong foundation within their communities to achieve both their academic and personal goals.
Goals
- Enhance students’ experiences and make connections between courses, campus faculty, administrators, staff, and classmates through learning communities, social events, conferences, college tours, and student support programming.
- By weaving together relevant voices, stories, and community experiences, the MANA Program provides support to ensure students reach their educational goals.
