The Office of Multicultural Affairs envisions an all-inclusive Multicultural Campus Community of interdependent and interconnected cultures at Wichita State University. In this multicultural community, all its members will see themselves as ambassadors of human relations, whose individual and collective role is to promote, encourage, and support inclusiveness, respect, fairness, access, equity, and justice for all people. Wichita State University aspires to become an all-inclusive campus community where its citizens recognize themselves first, as members of one common race, The Human Race and second, as representatives of a particular racial, ethnic, gender, religious, political, or any other group.
The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) will promote an all-inclusive global diversity at Wichita State University. Such community will be anchored in a campus climate that is inviting, welcoming, supportive, caring, and nurturing; one in which its citizens, regardless of their human and socio-cultural differences, can co-exist in harmony. In addition, the OMA will serve as a catalyst for promoting a "culture of collective responsibility" for the multiculturalization and globalization of Wichita State University. OMA is committed to supporting the overall mission of Wichita State University and will work collaboratively with the university communities to offer year-round all-inclusive, educational, cultural, social, and outreach programs for students, faculty, administrators and staff that are aimed at achieving Academic Excellence, Institutional Strength, and Campus Unity.
OMA is located in Room 174 of the Grace Wilkie Annex (southeast of Grace Wilkie Hall). Use the sliding doors at the northwest corner of the Grace Wilkie Annex.
