Tino Diaz:
"The Multicultural Center at UVU had been my home for years. It continues to be a place where I enjoy the atmosphere of friends and colleagues who inspire and teach me. As a student the MC would be an escape from the tense pressures of the university and majority. It was nice and uplifting to be around brothers and sisters of different beliefs and cultures (the same as well). As an employee it acts as a bridge between departments and students; something I can support and make stronger. I could not have become the man I am today without them." 
"You can educate your mind, but if you don't educate the heart you haven't educated the person."
