Our Purpose at MAGEC
The Multicultural Alliance and Gender Equity Resource Center (MAGEC) is a department within the division of Student Affairs and Strategic Enrollment Management (SASEM) that aims to uplift, validate and support students of all cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
MAGEC is located in the same building as the Dreamers Resource Center. Resources Available for Students for Free: At MAGEC, we offer dedicated lounges for student organizations that represent the
interests of various student demographics and communities on campus along with communal
connection and study spaces, welcoming all members of our campus community. These
inclusive spaces are designed for students to gather, collaborate, relax, study, and
build peer networks.MAGEC Resources
Student Lounges and Libraries
The three lounges are located inside the MAGEC Center in rooms 112, 114, and 115.
For room reservations, study use, snack access, or just to hang out, please come by
the front desk or email magec@csub.edu. We are here to help you feel welcome, and thrive academically and personally.
The student lounges in MAGEC include a small library, a collection of books and materials
that reflect the voices, histories, and experiences connected to that space. These
lounge libraries are designed to encourage curiosity, learning, and connection.
Jai's Library: A safer, softer place
Named in honor of a student leader, Jai Bornstein, whose vision centered inclusion
and belonging, Jai's Library continues that legacy, celebrating stories that empower
authenticity, compassion, and community.
Jai's Library is a community resource with a growing collection of books and other
materials by authors that celebrate diverse voices, lived experiences, histories,
and ways of knowing. All are welcome to browse, read, borrow, or donate.
Want to donate books or materials, please email magec@csub.edu to help our collection grow.
