Mixed Student Union (MSU) is the only student organization on campus devoted to the mixed race, multiethnic, and transracial adoptee community. MSU provides a fun, safe and comfortable environment for people of mixed heritage or those who are interested.

We discuss the growing issues on diversity and mixed heritage and explore areas of racial, ethnic and cultural identification, sexuality, media representation and politics.

We collaborate with other ethnic student organizations on campus for events to promote mixed heritage awareness. We engage in social activities to help with solidarity across marginalized communities at UCD and at other universities.

Meetings are Tuesdays at 7:30PM in TBA for Spring Quarter.

MSU won the award "Emerging Organization Award" from the ASA department on May 18, 2006.

MSU hosts the annual Mixed Heritage Week yearly in May inbetween the SPAC Culture Days. MSU hopes that one day the University will recognize Mixed Heritage people and make MHW part of the Culture Days as well. The Third Annual Mixed Heritage Week will be May 7-11, 2007.

MSU hosts the first annual Motley Movie Medley from March 5 to 10, 2007.

MSU supports One Drop, a mixed heritage independent AS PAPERS, and is now available around campus.

I had the pleasure of speaking with a few members of MSU yesterday. They seem like really nice people, so I'd like to encourage people to join them, if the club seems like your kind of thing. —JosephBleckman
