Did you know that more than 20 different cultures are represented in DCTC's student body?
As members of the Multicultural Student Leadership Association, we believe in the importance of not only recognizing our differences, but also embracing and learning from them.
MSLA gives students from all cultures the chance to learn, belong and grow by experiencing the rich world of people that visits our campus everyday.

"Through the Multicultural Management program at DCTC, I was able to find a mentor who helped me understand American culture, including football and baseball. Next semester, I will be taking on the role of mentor myself, which is another way for me to bring different cultures together."
