Multicultural Student Affairs sponsors a number of clubs to enhance the college experience of students of color. They include:
Alliance of Latin American Students
The Alliance of Latin American Students (ALAS) is a well-established student organization at Moraine Valley Community College. It provides unity among Latino students, allowing them to share their experiences; voice their needs, and develop their ideas, programs, services, and college-wide initiatives.

Black Student Association
The Black Student Association (BSA) creates opportunities for educational and social empowerment. Students taking charge of their life, career, direction, education, and future, do succeed. The BSA represents students working together to create positive change. If the alliance's goals and mission sound like they could benefit your educational and personal plans while attending Moraine Valley, please join us for an event or educational workshop to learn more about the organization. Remember empowerment lies within you.
To bring this mission to fruition, the BSA has several goals:
- Create, enhance, and explore avenues to lead to the educational development of our members.
- Facilitate relationships with other students and organizations on campus and at other colleges in Illinois.
- Host social activities that bring African-American students together to build a sense of community on campus.
- Promote the advancement of higher education through networking with other students and faculty.
- Present speakers on cultural, educational, and social issues that affect African-American students' educational endeavors.
- Seek out other student leaders to carry on the mission in the future as current students move on to higher educational endeavors.
