The Office of Student Development focuses on the promotion of cultural inclusiveness through its services and programs. To increase the effectiveness of these efforts, the staff in the Multicultural Center collaborate with students, administrators and faculty from a variety of schools, colleges, and departments on the campus to create a more open and educational environment regarding cross-cultural relations. The staff is also available to consult with student organizations, residence hall floors, classes and university departments on issues related to valuing diversity and diverse cultures.
The Office coordinates a wide variety of programs each year including regular cultural celebrations that feature speakers, performers, music, films, dinners, exhibits, and workshops. These programs are examples of the university’s philosophy articulated in its Statement on Human Dignity and Diversity. They provide the university community with opportunities to recognize and cherish the dignity of each individual by promoting a campus climate that fosters learning, appreciation, and understanding of other cultures as well as the importance of intercultural relations.
