#YouAreWelcomeHere Video

Come and show your support for international diversity on our campus by creating a short video message welcoming international & immigrant students to MCC!

More than 250 U.S. colleges and universities have joined together to offer welcoming messages to prospective international students and scholars who may be apprehensive about future study or research in the United States in the wake of the current political climate. The #YouAreWelcomeHere campaign aims to amplify the importance of diversity and international collaboration on U.S. campuses. Spearheaded by Temple University <https://www.temple.edu/> in Philadelphia, the campaign is backed by a number of US universities that have produced videos of faculty members, staff, and students inviting international students to campus.

The videos are not envisioned to be a political statement, rather they are intended to quell anxieties that prospective students may have about discrimination, safety, and the friendliness of US university campuses.

Come and join your voice with other MCC students, faculty, and staff to send out a message to our international community that they are welcome here! Taping times will occur during International Education Week, November 18-22.

Monday 11/18 10:30-11:30 a.m. Downtown Campus Boardroom
