The Office of International and Multicultural Student Affairs is dedicated to developing healthy perspectives of cultural differences through educational, cultural and social programming activities. The office actively supports student organizations, offers guidance on issues related to diversity, and strives to promote and incorporate an appreciation for the multicultural nature of our society with the collective campus community.

Programs and activities sponsored and co-sponsored by the office are designed to create a campus climate that welcomes diversity, eliminates divisions, and decreases intolerance and stereotyping. Therefore, this office embraces all students and endeavors to create awareness, appreciation, action and advocacy around issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity and national origin through passive and active programs, speakers, lecture series and community service.

Clubs and Organizations affiliated with this office include:

• Black Males Initiative (BMI)
• Black Student Association (BSA)
