The Multicultural Center for Academic Excellence (MCAE) Multicultural Kickoff (MKO) Ambassadors are University of Minnesota undergraduates who will provide exceptional student leadership for you during the two day MCAE Multicultural Kickoff. They will lead some of the large and small group activities, and will also serve as a source of information on the wide variety of student support services and resources that are available through the Multicultural Center for Academic Excellence (MCAE) as well as other U of M departments and programs. Look for communications from your MCAE Kickoff Ambassador via email and MKO blog the week before the Kickoff begins!
