(Couzens Active Multi Ethnic Organization) which represents students in Couzens who share common interests and who seek to make residents aware of multicultural concerns and the issue of diversity.

The Couzens ResComp site contains computers, printers and a scanner for student use. Students can also utilize the "Living Room", hall lounges, and the C.A.M.E.O. Multicultural lounge. The Community Learning Center (CLC), located on the first floor near the main elevator is available for quiet study from 7:30 am until 2 am when MCSP classes are not in session. (Check the CLC door for class times.)

Couzens also houses the Michigan Community Scholars Program, otherwise known as MCSP. MCSP is a Living Learning Community which focuses on community service, social justice, leadership, and academic excellence. MCSP courses are taught right in Couzens Hall where MCSP students live.
