Faculty & Staff
MSA provides opportunities for faculty and staff to build relationships with our students outside of the classroom. We invite faculty and staff to serve on MSA committees and we offer space at our two facilities for office hours. If a faculty or staff member is interested in holding office hours at MSA, please contact Ms. Jerre at j-michelin@northwestern.edu to reserve space at African American Student Affairs or Claire Kelly at claire-kelly@northwestern.edu for the Multicultural Center.
Collaborations
Our office partners with the various units within the Division of Student Affairs as well as many academic departments and university offices to develop and implement programs and initiatives. Examples include: Dr. Phuong Nguyen (Asian American Studies); gives a presentation on Bruce Lee and Blaxploitation for the MSA INC Speaker Series, a collaboration between MSA and Area Studies."
