The Office of Multicultural Affairs works collaboratively to build an inclusive Intercultural Campus Community and prepare future Citizen Leaders able to contribute to the common good.

Intercultural implies a means by which the campus community takes ownership for advancing pluralism through collaborative and intentional actions in its curricular and co-curricular environments. Most importantly, intercultural implies people -- students, groups, faculty, and staff -- working together to create learning opportunities.
