Multicultural Student Affairs

Who We Are:

The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) strives to help ensure that African American, Latino/a, Asian American, and Native American students and their families have a positive "DePaul experience". This positive educational experience translates into higher retention and graduation rates for DePaul's students of color. 

What We Do:

OMSA staff advocates for students, emphasizes cultural values, and provides academic support. The staff also collaborates closely with faculty and DePaul officials to help create a campus-climate that is culturally affirming and where all DePaul University students are treated with dignity and respect.

Our Programs, Services, Activities & Events:

	S.T.A.R.S - Students Together Are Reaching Success- S.T.A.R.S. is a voluntary, comprehensive, first-year retention initiative, designed to target Asian American, African American, Latino/a and Native American students in their transition to DePaul University and to higher education. The initiative is open to any first-year or transfer student.
	Egan Scholars -Founded by Monsignor John J. Egan, the Egan Hope Scholars initiative reflects Monsignor Egan's vision for community empowerment, DePaul's identity as an urban institution, and the Vincentian commitment to providing access to the urban community. This initiative provides four-year scholarships to academically promising students from Chicago's urban and inner-city communities.
