We promote and celebrate a multicultural environment

The Office of Multicultural and International Student Programs supports the identity of every student. We offer educational and social programs that highlight the value every student brings to campus regardless of race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic level, cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
