Our Mission
The Office of Multicultural Affairs, an integral part of the Division of Student Affairs, bases its philosophy on inclusion — fostering recognition and respect for the voices of all students. The Office contributes to the University’s academic mission in providing student-centered programs that promote awareness of and respect for cultural diversity and offer opportunities to provoke thought and expand cross-cultural and inter-cultural knowledge. The Office strives to contribute to a community in which all students are empowered to recognize and act on one’s social responsibility in relation to domestic and global issues. The Office also offers advocacy, programming and support systems to encourage students to realize the highest level of their potential, particularly as it pertains to the University’s retention and graduation efforts of underrepresented student populations.
