Our Mission

Multicultural Development Statement
Multicultural development is a life long process that is an evolving, learning, teaching and at times an uncomfortable process of confronting and challenging our relationships, attitudes, values, beliefs, and biases. This process pledges a holistic commitment to knowing and honoring our life themes as well as the commonalities and inherent differences among peoples and their cultures. This requires an awareness that our collective histories, which may include inequality and oppression, influence our present way of being as individuals, as groups and as members of larger systems or institutions. For the Counseling Center, multicultural development envisions a goal of an enriched individual and an enhanced professional delivery of services to our diverse student, staff and faculty population.
