The Office of Multicultural Affairs

The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) works with students to make a successful transition to college by enhancing their current knowledge and skills. By focusing on the academic, personal, social, and financial adjustment to university we take a comprehensive approach to increasing the effectiveness and retention of first generation, low-income, and/or ALANA/BIPOC (African American, Latine, Asian and Native American / Black, Indigenous, People of Color) college and future college students.

The OMA office hosts the following programs: Alternatives for Individual Development, the university’s summer bridge program; Upward Bound (UB) Program; Worcester’s 100 Males to College Collaborative; Intercultural Student Alliance (ISA), a legacy ALANA/BIPOC student organization; and the Worcester State University Multicultural Programming Committee. In addition, there are signature multicultural programs and activities. They include programs around Latin Heritage Month, Black History Month, Native American Heritage Month, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Additionally, the OMA is an integral part of the wider Worcester community. Worcester State’s capstone program, Courageous Conversations, is an event that brings local, national, and international scholars and campaigners for social justice to campus where they engage with Worcester State University students, faculty and staff, and the wider city community. Similarly, OMA hosts the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Youth Breakfast. For a quarter century, this key program celebrating the community has been attended by local dignitaries, the Worcester community, Worcester community students, the Worcester State University staff, faculty, and students.
