Our Mission
The Office of Intercultural Student Services mission is to foster an inclusive and welcoming campus environment that respects and acknowledges diversity in all of its forms. We provide advocacy, support services, and culturally based programs to help increase multicultural competence and educate our student body on the value of diversity. We are committed to enriching the overall quality of life for our underrepresented students by cultivating their personal and academic achievement, leadership, social development, and civic engagement.
Our Vision
The vision of the office is to create a campus where diversity is viewed as a valuable part of the educational process and where community members, while understanding commonalities, can appreciate and respect the unique attributes of each individual.
Our Purpose
The purpose of the office is to serve as a voice and an advocate for students of color and other underrepresented populations, be a resource to University community members who are seeking assistance in cultural awareness/understanding, and actively collaborate with faculty, staff, and administrators in an effort to recruit and retain students of color.
