The Office of Multicultural Student Programs and Services administers the programs and services specifically designed to assist with the retention and the academic success of traditionally underrepresented students.  The academic initiatives focus on providing faculty mentors, exposing historically underrepresented undergraduates to research opportunities, and networking with academicians and alumni in their area of interest.  The office also serves as a vehicle for students to explore issues of diversity by sponsoring cultural programs, advising ethnic or traditionally underrepresented organizations, and serving as a multicultural resource center.  The office provides these services to help our racially underrepresented population achieve their goals while maintaining their cultural identity.  The office facilitates diversity training and workshops to create dialogue between majority and ethnic students regarding the importance of celebrating their cultures.

The Office of Multicultural Student Programs and Services is located in the Intercultural Center on the second floor of the LaFortune Student Center, Room 210; office hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
