The Multicultural Resource Center (MRC) produces, co-sponsors and supports projects and programs on diversity and multiculturalism at Oberlin College. The purpose of the center is to serve as a resource for students who have been historically disenfranchised from higher education. The MRC works to support students of color and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students as well as address the concerns of low-income, international and first-generation college students.

The MRC is staffed by an Associate Dean/Director, four Community Coordinators and an Administrative Assistant who provide support for students and student organizations, organize and implement academic, cultural and social programs, and build strong communities as well as work to foster coalitions among communities. The center also provides resources, education and workshops for those generally interested in issues of diversity and multiculturalism, including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners. At the MRC, the goal is to provide the institutional and administrative structures necessary to support Oberlin's commitment to a diverse social and liberal arts environment.
