Job Summary

Department Summary

The William Monroe Trotter House officially opened its doors as a Black Student Cultural Center in 1971 and was named after publisher and civil-rights activist William Monroe Trotter. In 1981, the mission of the Trotter House was expanded to signal a focus on intersectional liberation, and its name was changed to the William Monroe Trotter Multicultural Center. The Trotter Multicultural Center builds on its historical heritage of strengthening relationships and generating collective power that disrupts patterns of inequity, restores and celebrates cultural heritages, and cultivates racial healing within student experiences. In April 2019, the William Monroe Trotter Multicultural Center moved into a new facility located in the center of campus, expanding programs, operations, and reservable space for the U-M community.
