Multicultural Affairs

 The Office of Multicultural Affairs was established to provide education-based services that support academic success and personal development. Our primary goal is to promote a sense of community that enhances the well-being of all students. 

These objectives are achieved through advising sessions, referrals to appropriate offices and sponsorship of campus programming designed to educate and foster the exchange of dialogue in a setting where civility and respect is observed.

In addition to serving as primary point of contact for under represented student populations, this office serves as a clearinghouse for the campus regarding issues impacting multicultural students. We strive to enhance opportunities for educational growth, retention, and successful matriculation of students from diverse backgrounds. Through sponsorship of lectures, conferences, and a variety of cultural celebrations we address cultural diversity in a global society.

Ohio Dominican University is proud to be home to a rich and culturally diverse community. We promote diversity and respect through many programs and activities throughout the year. 

• Areas of study/courses including Diversity and the Learner, Psychology of Women, Cross Cultural Communications, Introduction to African Literature, Global Ethnic Relations and a host of other compelling courses that are offered each semester.
• Several Clubs and Organizations focus on diversity like Amigos Latinos, African Culture Club, Bridges of Diversity, Black Student Union, and the Mila Dance Group.
• Programs focusing on cultural diversity like the Minority Speaker Series, Hispanic Heritage Week, Women's History Month, Black History Month, diversity training and many more.
• Stepping Stones for Success a pre-orientation program for first year students of color to help create a smooth transition from high school to Ohio Dominican University.
