Abstract

This student service aims to socialize multicultural values to millennial students at Knoxville College. Multicultural values are an important element of the nation that must be shared with other nations because they have an adhesive force towards the unity and integrity of a nation and state. This service activity was carried out at Knoxville College. The method of implementation is to explain the multicultural values taught through socialization used by campus institutions, students and the local government. Data was collected through direct interviews with several millennial generations on campus. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that strengthening multicultural values for the millennial generation is largely determined by the role of students and the government in presenting moral values, traditions and culture through the means they prefer. The methods used by each institution are quite varied, whether in the form of direct or indirect approaches. The differences in roles are certainly influenced by the majority religion adhered to in each region.
