The Office of Multicultural Affairs is committed to building an environment that values and respects every person, regardless of gender, age, race, sexual preference, cultural background, religion, nationality or beliefs.  In keeping with  the Mount's mission to "embrace diversity of cultures and beliefs," the Office places great value on diversity and multiculturalism and seeks to ensure a positive, supportive climate in which all individuals are welcome. 

Many of the events and services provided are designed to not only benefit the Mount's culturally diverse students, but to also benefit the Mount's entire community by promoting diversity awareness, enriching the educational experience and enhancing the quality of student life.
