Office of Multicultural Affairs
The Office of Multicultural Affairs assists in fostering a community that contributes to the successful recruitment, retention, and graduation of underrepresented students at Washington & Jefferson College. The Office of Multicultural Affairs enhances the academic and social experience of all students through outreach and support. In keeping with the mission of the College, the Office works in a partnership with faculty to promote lifelong learning one student at a time.

Actions of the Office of Multicultural Affairs are to:
• Assist in the academic enhancement of each student.
• Foster a community which values diversity and creates an awareness of each community member’s personal worth and responsibility.
• Affirm the inclusion of underrepresented populations in the institutional community.
• Provide the resources necessary for the personal growth of underrepresented students, which prepares students for leadership in a pluralistic world.
• Enhance the collegiate experience through collaboration with internal and external areas of the institution.

The Office believes that diversity strengthens the community and enhances the collegiate environment. Through collaboration, Multicultural Affairs initiates, develops, and implements multicultural education in the areas of policies, services, and programs for the entire student body. Creating a more intelligent, respectful, diverse, and connected community is our challenge. We ask that you join us in this commitment.
