Mission
Our mission is to foster a culturally pluralistic environment in
which ethnic, racial, religious, gender, age, socioeconomic and
ideological differences are recognized, understood and appreciated;
to stimulate the establishment of multiculturalism in all its
forms; and to facilitate the self-actualizing development of all
our students, especially those of underrepresented populations.
Vision
As we work in concert with students, administration, faculty and
staff to create a welcoming, affirming and nurturing atmosphere, we
envision a place where individuals from different backgrounds are
afforded the opportunity to participate in and explore their own
traditional cultural and special interests and still feel
comfortable and accepted as an integral part of the University and
each distinctive campus community. To that end, we will
continue to design programs and initiatives that address globally
inclusive issues pertaining to race and ethnicity, as well as the
cultures of poverty, gender and violence.
