Our mission is to create a learning environment in which the entire campus community feels welcome. 

One of our major priorities is to facilitate the academic, professional and personal development of those student, staff and faculty who are members of underrepresented groups. We provide a network of services and programs that foster discussions related to the creation of a multi-ethnic, culturally-conscious university. All members of the campus community and neighboring communities are welcome to participate in these programs.
