Creating a campus where all belong
The Office of Intercultural Student Affairs (OISA), located on the first floor of Solhberg Hall, seeks to maintain a climate that values diversity through programming, outreach, and support for all members. In addition, committed to providing quality events to promote diversity beyond food, fashion, and festivals. The office meets this objective by focusing on the critical components of diversity through campus dialogue forums, academic presentations, and diversity-related workshops and seminars. These events complement and support the university’s educational mission.
