The Multicultural Recruitment Committee is a student-run group that works with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in recruiting students from underrepresented populations. The MRC was formed in the 1960s by Columbia undergraduates to create a number of programs that addressed diversity and multiculturalism. Today, MRC members assist the admissions staff in identifying, recruiting and yielding students from historically underrepresented groups (students of color, first-generation college students and families from high-need backgrounds). The following list includes only Columbia College members.
