 Program mission of MIP
o MIP is based on didactic, experiential, and social justice models of learning, in
which students engage in coursework, ongoing dialogue, and campus and
community programming. Workshops and training of MIP focuses on mental
health and wellness, race relations, intersecting identities, intercultural
communication and the appreciation and promotion of cultural pluralism
and unity. This internship is designed to provide an opportunity for students
to apply their knowledge of multiculturalism and diversity gained through
personal experiences, various identities and classes to the campus
community.
 Philosophy of training of MIP
o MIP trains a core group of motivated undergrad intern to become energetic
and competent peer educators on topics related to multiculturalism (define
multiculturalism), multiple identities and the relation between the
intersection of identities, oppression, power and privilege to mental health
and wellness. The unique and dynamic training provided by MIP is based on
the premise that when students gain insight into themselves and are
grounded in their intersecting identities, that they are better able to deal
with stressors, to cope and combat prejudice and oppression and to be more
effective agents of change within their communities.
