On January 1, 2026, the Trotter Multicultural Center and Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA) merged to form a single unit. 

 

Trotter and MESA have a rich legacy of building community, shaping belonging, and deepening the experiences of students. This merger is not just a structural change—it represents a moment to build on that legacy and imagine a stronger future.
