Office of Multi-Cultural Initiatives

The Multi-Cultural Initiative office located in the Center for Student Life, welcomes, celebrates and supports students from all diverse backgrounds. The College promotes understanding, unity and appreciation of the growing diversity of our campus, affirming the inherent value and dignity of each person, regardless of race, gender differences, national origin or religion. The campus community recognizes ethnic awareness with respect and openness to the richness and wisdom of various groups so that students can prosper academically, and socially.

Through the full use of all institutional services and resources, the office works together with all areas of the campus community to implement multicultural programs such as a calendar of social or cultural events, and other co-curricular activities that are consistent with best practices and designed to support the success of all students. The Multi-Cultural staff is available to students on both a formal and informal basis to discuss issues, implement ideas, help solve problems and direct them to appropriate channels for the resolution of issues.

Our office has an open door policy and invites\encourages members of the college community to visit our office and share your program ideas, questions, or just to obtain an update and\or to volunteer with multicultural projects.
