Important Note:

Officially as of July 1, 2023, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Student Success & Outreach have joined together to become The MOSAIC Center.

Due to a university wide web redesign, we are unable to make changes to the information displayed on our website. Please visit our Instagram @su_mosaic or ConnectSU for the most up-to-date information on our programs, services, and resources. For questions, please email mosaic@seattleu.edu or visit us in person during our office hours.

Thanks for your patience as we navigate through change together.

Food Justice Week at SU is a week dedicated to exploring the complex relationship between food and justice. Join us this year for interactive, educational, and thought-provoking events that center on issues of college food security, sustainability, resource sharing, and food systems.   For more information about Food Justice Week, visit our Instagram @su_mosaic or ConnectSU.
