Multicultural Development

The Office of Multicultural Development supports the University in its goal to recruit and retain students of color by providing a variety of programs and services. The department assists students in their adjustment to university life by encouraging them to achieve their personal, academic and career goals through:

• academic support services and programs,
• skill development workshops,
• leadership/involvement activities,
• individual and group advising, and
• access to technology.

As an advocate for equity and social justice, the department works to ensure that students of diverse ethnic, social and cultural backgrounds achieve their fullest potential in an affirming environment that supports access, retention, and successful completion of goals. This mission is characterized by extensive student-focused collaboration with all segments of the campus community.
