BYU:
Multicultural Student Services
Frequently
the cultural transition required of multicultural students consists of
more than overcoming a financial need. To meet cultural, economic, and
social challenges common to the university community, students are encouraged
to seek advisement from their assigned Multicultural Student Services
(MSS) advisor/counselor. The advisor/counselor will meet with the students
to refer them to the appropriate services on campus.
