Office of Multicultural Affairs

Welcome to the OMA's new web site

The Office of Multicultural Affairs is dedicated to implementing educational and cultural programs that improve campus climate and enhance community life at Haverford.

The OMA provides opportunities for cultural exploration, dialogue, personal reflection and leadership development by incorporating these themes into the student life experience. We strive to provide a comprehensive program to ensure that historically under-represented groups in particular, and all Haverford students in general, will have rich learning experiences in and outside the classroom.

In collaboration with students, faculty, and administrative staffs we work with individual students as well as student communities and organizations to facilitate academic, personal, social, and cultural development and success in order to create a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment.

The OMA strives to develop campus wide learning experiences about issues of diversity among students, faculty, and staff. We seek to support student organizations and encourage students to be involved in challenging discussions. The OMA supports leadership development activities and trainings focusing on how to talk about tough issues and build a vocabulary that allows us to interact over our differences. Bring us your ideas and your critiques so that we can go about the business of building a multicultural community.

WHAT IS OUR PHILOSOPHY?
• We value and recognize multicultural leadership development to be a crucial aspect of a liberal arts education

• We embrace the entire Haverford community and our programs and activities are designed to promote inclusion
