The Center for Multicultural Education

To promote cross-cultural awareness and multicultural understanding by:

--Providing an opportunity for representatives from the academic community to share their ideas and incorporate the practice of diversity campus-wide.

--Providing multicultural programming to students as a tool for them to understand the value of diversity as it pertains to life in or out of college.

--Assisting with the retention of minority students through multicultural programming in an effort to provide a positive campus environment that addresses their social needs.

--Promoting diversity in the classroom and workplace which creates an environment for the university at large to examine philosophies, strategies, and initiatives as it relates to development.

As long as people hunger, as long as people thirst,
And ignorance and illness and warfare do their worst;
As long as there's injustice in any of God's lands,
We are our neighbor's keeper, and dare not wash our hands!
