    Our Mission

    The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA) develops cultural, educational, and social justice programs to foster co-curricular experiences which will improve our students' experience as we prepare them to be global citizens that will thrive in diverse environments. With this mission guiding us, we:

    • Commemorate and celebrate the experiences and cultures of multicultural students through cultural heritage month programming inside of our larger campus communities.
    • Advise and provide leadership development opportunities for nine cultural and identity-based student organizations.
    • Develop and maintain a safe community guided by the ethics of care for multicultural students while exuding respect of all identities, lived experiences, and education levels with those who are to learn more about the experiences of others.
    • Cultivate and facilitate social justice education co-curricular programs.
    • Advocate on behalf of multicultural students and provide support to maximize their voices as they develop while taking ownership of their lived experiences.

    Our Vision

    The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA) will be an integral part of preparing students at UNG to be culturally competent and able to contribute positively to a diverse community and global society.  

    We envision a University of North Georgia that supports the identities and perspectives of our entire community in a way that promotes and fosters inclusiveness for all students, faculty, and staff.
