Mission Statement
The mission of the Office of Multicultural Affairs at Florida State University is to create a welcoming environment that is inclusive of all students.
To that end, the Office of Multicultural Affairs provides advocacy, support services, and culturally based programs that educate students on diversity and multiculturalism and empowers them to be agents of social change in an increasingly diverse and global community.
Vision
The Office of Multicultural Affairs is committed to the philosophy that multiculturalism enhances the quality of student life. The goal of OMA is to:
- Aid students as they explore their multiple identities, including race/ethnicity, class, gender identity, nationality, disability, religion/spirituality and sexual orientation.
- Promote a welcoming environment for community partnerships between students, staff, faculty and administrators.
- Encourage opportunities for student collaboration on projects such as programs, committees, and task forces.
- Foster within the FSU community a respect for and appreciation for the history, tradition, and cultures of all of our students.
