Office of Multicultural Affairs

Multicultural Affairs is responsible for creating and fostering a campus-wide climate of respect for each individual and for advocating for a culturally diverse and non-discriminatory campus community. The Office of Multicultural Affairs embraces all students regardless of ethnicity, gender, color, religion, national origin, disability or sexual orientation. Students receive many services through the office including counseling, academic advisement, educational programs and social activities.

Multicultural Affairs provides numerous formal and informal opportunities for students of color to learn about their history and to take pride in their heritage. The office offers cultural programs, including the Multicultural Expo, Multicultural Fashion Show, Unity Fest, Hispanic Dance Lessons and other educational activities to increase awareness for other traditions and customs. The office also advises two major organizations, the Gospel Choir and the Black Affairs Association.

The Black Affairs Association is an organization that is open to all students at the university. It serves as a source of encouragement for students to become involved in various campus-wide activities. The primary purpose of the organization is to provide a wholesome and supportive environment where students of color are able to interact and participate in activities together. The Black Affairs Association sponsors many major events and activities throughout the year, and hosts an annual homecoming event, the Annual Homecoming Comedy Show, that features comedians from BET’s “Comic View.”

Gospel Choir is an organization that offers students an opportunity to sing songs of praise. The choir is comprised of a diverse group of students who display their talents on campus and at area colleges. They also perform at community events, civic organizations and churches throughout the Souteastern U.S. A Praise Dance Team also accompanies the choir and performs at various events. The choir presents two major concerts on the campus during the academic year. In the spring semester, they attend and compete at an annual national leadership conference.
