WELCOME TO INTERCULTURAL AFFAIRS
We sincerely welcome you to the Office of Intercultural Affairs (OIA). The Office of Intercultural Affairs was established in 2014 to nurture students as they aspire to become “citizens of the world.” Our mission is to create an environment providing progressive learning experiences necessary to assist our students in the acquisition of skills, knowledge, and practices to successfully live, work and contribute to the well-being of others in a global society. We do so by creating student engagement initiatives, progressive and experiential educational programs, and highly individualized advising. We will create a diverse university of respect, learning, inclusion, and engagement.
