In alignment with Governor Whitmer's order, effective Wednesday, Nov. 18, Multicultural Affairs for Students will resume remote operation. Our staff can be contacted by email during this time. We plan to resume in-person operation on Tuesday, Dec. 8.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Student Scholars Academy is a four-tier comprehensive program designed to offer academic, social, and professional development support and services to assist program participants from the first year through graduation. Each tier is designed to address particular developmental milestones associated with that phase of each student's matriculation.
The MLK Academy is housed in Multicultural Affairs for Students.
