The Center for Multicultural Education, 2401 College St., highlights thirty years of service to students. At press time, an open house was scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 21. The center was founded in response to local civil rights activism--including a sit-in at the UNI president's house--in the late 1960s and '70s, during President Emeritus J.W. Maucker's tenure. Housed in the oldest existing building on campus, which was constructed in 1890, the center will gain more space with its upcoming relocation to the planned Maucker Union expansion. "This anniversary is a time of remembrance and challenge for us," says Michael Blackwell, UNI director for multicultural education. "While we celebrate our program's success as a resource for ethnic students at our original site, we're also looking forward to creating a comfortable place near the center of campus for all students to gather and share their perspectives."
