The Office of Multicultural Engagement (OME) looks to provide the necessary support and guidance needed to encourage students to become members of a community respectful of differences. The OME coordinates programs that educate, engage, and embrace students of different ethnic and diverse backgrounds so that all students have a richer campus experience and will be better prepared for service and leadership after graduation.
Our vision and work
CUAA Office of Multicultural Engagement staff strives to reach out and support students in one-on-one and group formats. We look to offer and provide support to those who may be struggling with mixed messages they may receive daily when dealing with the issues of race in their own communities.
Our number one mission is to serve as an advocate and mentor to students from underrepresented populations.
