Description:In its fourth year, the Committee for the Awareness of Mexican-American Culture (MSCC CAMAC) hosts the Mi Casa Es Su Casa program which serves as an opportunity for Latino students, faculty and staff volunteers to get to know each other and foster networks to assist with social and academic persistence and success . Once a month, every third Thursday, Latino faculty /staff volunteers will host a group of Hispanic students at their homes for dinner. The purpose of the program is to create a "home away from home" to this cohort of students as well as give them an opportunity to develop a support system from other students and professors. This first dinner is open to any one interested in participating in the program.
