In support of Albion’s commitment to a pluralistic and equitable community for learning, the Office for Multicultural Affairs works cooperatively with students, faculty, staff and the Albion community to heighten awareness of an appreciation for cultural, ethnic and racial diversity. Emphasis is placed on the development and implementation of educational programs and activities that assist in the transition and retention of under-represented students. These programs include an orientation, mentoring and a host family program.

The office is concerned with all aspects of each student’s development and a concerted effort is made to assist students in assessing educational goals and academic skills, and to identify and refer students to appropriate support services. The office advises student organizations that work in the spirit of diversity and community. These groups are the Asian Awareness Group, Black Student Alliance, Break the Silence, Jewish Student Union, Muslim Student Network, Organization of Latino/a Awareness, International Student Union, and United Voices of Albion College.
