Multicultural Entrepreneurial Center
The Multicultural Entrepreneurial Center, or MEC, serves first-generation students and aspiring business entrepreneurs.
We work with students on language and academic skills, setting up mentoring relationships, setting up business internships and community development opportunities (also called service learning).
MEC Programs
Multicultural Mentoring
This program pairs a professional mentor with a mentee, who is a BHC student and demonstrates interest in MEC. Students learn about the workplace and their chosen field of study.
Cultural Presentations
Come listen to informative presentations about countries from members who have been there. Presentations about what there is to do in and around the Quad-Cities are also given.
Entrepreneurship Workshops
This free program provides an opportunity for students curious about entrepreneurship and/or business.
Free Language & Culture Classes
Join us for free to brush up your conversational Spanish or French. Get first-hand experience about how fun the language-learning experience can be.
Internship Opportunities
Earn college credit while you work and learn in the MEC for the semester.
