St. Ben’s Opens New Multicultural Center
COLLEGEVILLE -- Friday is the grand opening for a new Multicultural Center at the College of St. Benedict.
Director of the Multicultural Center, Malik Stewart, says it is an important addition to the campus.
We wanted to create a space where international students, students of color, and LGBTQ students could feel at home. So, that's what this is.
Stewart says they have been working on the space since February.
