Office of Multicultural Affairs

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.
