Here for the Entire UM Community
The Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement (CICCE) seeks to provide resources and services that complement and support the academic experience to ensure students persist and graduate from the University of Mississippi.
Our office provides students with a physical space to be in community and a variety of programs, resources, and services to support their curricular and co-curricular experience at the University.
How We Can Help
CICCE offers and supports multiple opportunities for faculty, staff, and our student body to learn and grow together.
Our opportunities include:
- CICCE Programs. Our programs and events celebrate student success while advancing access, retention, and engagement. We are committed to supporting personal growth and fostering meaningful community connections at the University of Mississippi.
- MOST Conference. This conference is a leadership experience for rising Mississippi seniors. It provides a three-day, two-night experience on campus, exposing students to campus life, resources, and faculty, and mentors attendees through the admissions process.
- Learning and Development. Through intentional learning and development, the campus community is equipped with knowledge, skills, and values that foster belonging and expand access across the University of Mississippi.
- Bias Education and Response Team. The Bias Education and Response Team is a non-judicial team of faculty, staff, and administrators that works hard to promote a respect for all members of the University of Mississippi community.
