Multicultural Affairs

The Office of Multicultural Affairs is a resource to support the enrollment and retention of under-represented students at the University of Richmond.  The Office also serves as a vehicle to promote a campus community that embraces difference and values inclusive diversity.  When it was first established in 1987, the Office was charged with the responsibility to:

  • Develop and promote initiatives that maximize the multicultural student's experience at the University, both inside and beyond the classroom
  • Offer educationally enriching activities that help educate and expose members of the University community to perspectives, values and cultures that may be different from their own.

Since that time, the Office has remained steadfast in its focus to maximize the experiences of our students in a manner that prepares them to contribute in a diverse and global society.
